I added a small quarter fairing to my Harley Davidson Roadster, An EXTREME difference was felt by lessening, practically eliminating the hurricane force wind load on my chest.

It was extremely effective above 45 mph, made passing big trucks, cutting through their wind field much better, far less turbulence.

As for low speed, my estimate was right about at 20 mph I could feel the effect and advantage and In almost any headwinds it was nice.
BUT that's a near 600 pound bike plus my 200 in riding gear weight so,
yeah I'd think you'd like one.
Many have them....

I'm rarely above 17,18 on my LWB Recumbent so I see no benefit. But Every time I get into head winds I think about a fairing...
