Those are Grand Prix style fairings. To get serious, you need to enclose the front wheel, as outlawed by the FIA in the early 50s when the new streamlined bikes were demolishing records. Vetter remarks on one Harley that ran at Bonneville, first unstreamlined, and then with a F1 style fairing. It got the bike from 100 MPH to 101.
