Front and sides, almost ready to mount and ride test. I might chance it on tomorrow's rainy commute, if the paint dries enough.




edit: oops, I'll fix the attachments this evening.

As just a casual report, I did wind up commuting (approx 10 mi) with it this morning, just some drizzle and light rain but not much cold at 62 degrees. I finished bone dry except for the knees down. Unfortunately what with the storm debris and wet leaves I keep to low speeds and can't say much about handling or wind resistance. Hopefully I'll get a chance this weekend for some solid data with coast-down tests.

It needs some adjustments in the bar panels, as the rub on the handlebars is a bit twitchy. I also still have to construct the bottom front fairing comprised of leg shields and bridging the gap under the fairing dashboard.
