Aero fairings
Introduction
While motorcycles, scooters and bicycles have small projected areas relative to cars & trucks, their coefficients of drag are generally much higher.
For a motorcycle, a Cd of .50 is considered low, and .90 medium, and 1.00 high.
So the addition of aerodynamic fairings that can part the air flow more gently at the front and shepherd it back together at the rear will be apparent at the fuel pump.
