I'm lugging the box containing the fairing in the first picture above back home using the commuter train and installing it this weekend. Will take project pictures and post on this thread.

I don't use a cyclometer so I wont' be able to give you readouts. Karl of Zipper fame has said the fairing typically allows a rider to ride one cog smaller (faster) under the same conditions. I'm just gearing it up for the colder months.

By far, the kind of riders most willing to embrace the use of fairings appear to be recumbent riders and HPV (Human Power Vehicles, not Human Papiloma Virus!!) riders.
