"Speak of the Devil", Hotbike is here.



I experimented with a fairing that has a variable angle wedge. The interesting thing is that the lowest wind resistance occurred with the "wedge" at 53 degrees.

The fairing in this picture is mounted to the head-tube.

This is a new picture , which I took to show the rear panniers. The rear panniers are made of a Coroplast sign, that I scavenged the day after Election day. ( A political campaign sign).
I will try to get back to you, when I come up with an idea.
