Better yet why is is not duct taped flat and more under the saddle in a better position I would think for aerodynamics.

Plus those little ripples in the tape make a turbulent layer that helps aero, like dimples on a golf ball.

Duct tape is like The Force - there's light side, and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
