@NASIRUB1 it can even get cheaper by scanenge the real estate for sale/open house signs that real estate agents/broker leave out as litter on the streets.
Just a tiny bit squirrley ... mostly when there was a heavy cross-wind. Love those days with a tail-wind though!
I have converted this fairing into a yard-wagon for leaves and the like and will be building a different design this fall. I am hoping to try something more V-shaped to see if it cuts down on wind-resistance better.
@lhtrees would like more details on your fairing design and mounting system. I have a bikeE and have been working on some designs using coroplastic board. Also designing a full surround skin, with either the coroplas or stretch fabric or plastic.
I built a similar coroplast fairing for my BikeE a few years ago. A road it a couple of times but found the handling to be a bit squirrley. Seemed like the center of gravity for the steering was pushed to far forward. Have you had that experience? I took mine off after a riding only a short time.
@rod1148 seems like the coroplastic would need some kind of support structure. I was thinkng of making triagular pipe with the coroplastic and then taping/gluing it to the fairing for added structural support.
cheap bastard lol, I'm just joking cool concept I am getting some ideas from this thanks.

I made one very similar to this for my bikeE several years ago. Rode it a few minutes and took it off. Like you said--a bit squirrley.
