You probably should have your fairing adjusted so that you are looking over the top. That's how I have positioned mine on my EZ Sport. Looking through the curved fairing gives a slightly distorted effect which could be hazardous. It does assist slightly with aerodynamics, especially at higher speeds (18+ mph) & helps deflect bugs, bees & branches hanging down over the bike path...also a great attention getter...lots of 2nd looks & turned heads.
