Which fairings from the airspeed website do you think would fit on a 2012 Zero S? 

Are there specific fittings or sizes I can look for?  Or can someone look at the fairings and list the ones that would fit on a Zero?  I'm legitimately interested in putting an aerodynamic fairing on my bike, but only if it will help my road trip efforts.

Lots of good ones in the "vintage bikes fairings" section on the aerotech website. You know, 'cause back in the day fairings actually had to be functional, not just for show. I love how we're seeing a renaissance to "old aero tech" with modern EV's. All those old swoopy cars and dustbin fairings weren't styled to be "retro", they were actually quite effective.

I picked the TR4 fairing because it's fairly flat sided and wide at the bottom. It fits any of the Zero's just fine. Though maybe you could request they don't cut out the big exhaust clearance hole in the bottom. Unfortunately I don't have any real power data with this fairing, yet, but I'd guess the reduction in power to maintain 70mph is in the 10-20% range. Maybe even better.

Google "Terry Hershner Zero" and you will find tons.

thanks
looks kind of funny but if it doubles range, I might try it.
