For me its just repetitive movements. I think I have pre-arthritis at this point. Knees, hips, back, wrist.

Congrats on the new bike. Craig Vetter did a fairing for the KLR. I don't know if it made it to production as a kit.

Not for street riding. That is a flat-tracking / supermoto / motocross technique

Since the OP mentioned motorcycle camping, maybe that technique would still be occasionally required while riding on rough terrain.

Talk to Schultz Engineering about Craig Vetter fairings. A front fairing and a tail section give the best drag reduction. An e-bike will start about $3000.
