Checking the BROL front page, I find this from Jeff Bales [BROL Member Goblin]:
Quoted from the front page article:
It is designed to be aerodynamic without being overly large and heavy. You’ll notice the unique design that allows the 700 rear wheel to protrude without being faired. Obviously, for even better aerodynamics, riders can use wheel discs. By keeping the fairing tucked in behind the seat I can keep the weight down and get the speed up.
Just as I thought I was finished with Silk’s exterior, there is something else to consider. Of course, they have it in black.
Front fairing added recently [posted 03/03].

Thanks for pointing out that thread. I was just going to go look for it as I was curious if Garrie’s work would be adaptable to a raptobike. Though with only one in the US at this time, I suppose not much information is available on that subject. I am almost guaranteed to be importing the raptobike frame kit, I have CFO sign off so it is just a waiting game now.
You never know what you may find here. Maybe a worthy resource…
Thanks!
