Oh, wow, I forgot, the Non-Aerodynamic "Box" has been replaced by a new Fairing... I built the Non-Aerodynamic "Box" in response to people who had to ask "how much?" and then complained about the price quote... With the Non-Aerodynamic "Box" (that I rode for 6 years) , NOBODY asked about the bike , so there were No Complaints about the price , LOL....

Now people are approaching me again and asking about the "Vehicle".
I usually say "I spent more on LED Lights than the bike is worth".

These are the Rack and Panniers under that Fairing:
