certainly felt more in control. (than an elbows together position)

The higher position, made aerodynamic again, by a Zzipper [Thriller] fairing in front of me.
Had a front rack and bit of storage space behind the fairing..
Would be a good tandem setup for those - 2 Up - Brevets, I'd think.
I agree on the elbow pads. One of the reasons that I like the Syntace bars is that the pad width is adjustable.
The fairing idea is certainly coloring outside the box. Drawback is not having the resting position on the 'bars. The fairing only weighs a 1/2 lb. more than the 'bars, not too bad.
