Looking for examples of aeroshells...

Hey there.

I have my own evil internal plot... But I was wondering if there were any good examples of shells for motorcycles(preferably full shells, but partial are interesting too) people have built for their bikes.
:3 Maybe with cad drawings or some sort of models? ^.^... Heck. Even if it only made it to drawing/model I'd be interested...

Haven't been able to find much. I'm not so much interested in making one as making something that incorporates similar designs... And well. I work best off example.

Twas hard to debate if this should go here or in aerodynamics xD...

Google is your friend. There are streamliner bike threads here on EM and there too. Lots of pics of HPVs. Go to Vetter's site.

Look for 1955 - 1957 GP motorcycles. or Land speed record bikes; the various classes will give you some good ideas as to what could work.

Can you be a bit more specific about the type of layout that interests you? Do you want conventional or recumbent seating? Open or enclosed?
I have some CAD drawings from a project which may be useful, but what style?
