Though I don't do motorcycle aerodynamics I thought this site might be of interest to someone.

Craig Vetter in the Motorcycle Museum website link:

Craig Vetter: Man in the Wind

The Craig Vetter website:

And something you can buy.

Follow Craig's latest project of a full fairing for a Honda Helix scooter.

Craig is an inspiration and a legend among the aero heads.

He just keeps trying until he finds what works.

I always thought he and Smokey Yunick would make one killer bike if they had gotten together.

I think that Allert Jacobs has an even better fairing:

More info here: De ligmotor

The Jacobs motorcycle gets over 200MPG vs 125MPG of the Vetter.

But not even close to what Craig's fairings achieved 25 years ago. You might have missed this page:

470 MPG-Craig Vetter Fuel Economy contests, better mileage

He still sells the fairings.

That is on a track, and the heading says it was a 125cc, but the chart on the "More" page says it was an 80cc.

So they are in the same ballpark.
