I don't like it, but I think I need it

Anybody got access to a wind tunnel?
 
It's a great idea, if I had the 5k sitting around with nonplans or a sponsor who'd pay it I'd jump all over it.
 
Here it is. Had to go back to T-Bars for now, I'm going to need totally straight drag bars to work with the stock risers, the slight sweep on the ones I've got are not compatible.

I am a little surprised, I actually like how it looks

It does, I'm already committed to that class because I'm not using stock fenders. Front will be a modified Hayabusa fender, to the limit of the MPS coverage.

First day of riding is done with it. I'm a big fan!! It takes a lot of the wind off of me, the pocket extends to about 3" below the top of my helmet sitting bolt upright. A rider that's 5'10" to 6" would probably sit nicely upright with no buffeting or extra wind noise.

When tucked it's a dead still pocket, no wind noise, no buffeting, perfect calm. Exactly what I want at the salt.

Spoke with a current LSR record holder I went to visit today, his over all assessment of the fairing .... Probably won't add to top speed (or detract) but will certainly make it a hell of a lot more comfortable holding the bike flat out for 5 miles.

Tested up to 130mph, no issues. Rode home through a storm with serious cross winds, enough to shift me from right most lane position to the very left edge of the lane involuntarily, no instability caused (30+mph gusts). Should be totally solid on the salt.

Beautiful looking bike and the fairing is definitely a plus!

Ach ja! - German engineering, mein schatz.

The aestetics are a bit odd - though that may be also the mix with other non standard and "slimmed down look" parts. I suspect it would "suit" a standard Roadster well though.
Me likey. If it keeps wind off - it keeps water off.
