Bikes are very dirty as far as Cd goes , the busa comes in at .58 aprox with 
rider  so lets call it .6  where as a good car comes in at .3   even an open 
car would not come in as high as .6 . so as an expriment plug in these 
figures   Cd =.3 against  non altered  frontal area    plug in .6 against 
the altered frontal area  see what CdA figures you get,   this is a simple 
expriment but it should indicate a trend as to which way to go
