Bikes: a lowrider BMX, a mountain bike, a faired recumbent, and a loaded touring bike

Okay, it fits in the Elevator, and I didn't have to lop off either end. I figured out that the rear bulkhead of the Fairing was 3/4" thick (3 layers of Coroplast), and the new fiberglass bulkhead is 2.25" thick, which adds up to three inches...
So I cut a slot in the bottom rear of the Fairing, horizontally, and another slot in the rear vertically, and dropped the Fairing OVER the fiberglass rear bulkhead, and it looks very neat. Sorry, no pictures today, but I will post more pics.

The top rear edge of the Coroplast Fairing was also cut down to ten inches, so as to leave clearance for the handlebars. I have yet to re-install the Horn... The white LED Light-Strip had to be moved forward about two inches.

And a new Tripod was installed; a very compact Tripod , which is only ten inches high when the legs are retracted.

The actual mounting hardware is two quarter inch by one inch bolts, with Fender Washers, in the bottom.

More photographs are coming, stay tuned.
