Put 2 skirts on each side ,rear. 
I was just joking when I said I should use them on the bars, but I still laid them there for a BatCycle pic.
Also mocked one up front for fun.

Louvered dashboard,

Don't know what I'm doing, gonna do it anyway.
I can't lie.
I like the front skirt,might be overkill to do it front and rear,but if you flip them opposite it could add to the yin yang flow.
Don't think you should do it for the build,but might be an interesting look.

No skirts will be going on the bars or the front. I agree they could make for an interesting look, but I only did those pics just to see what they might look like.
Slice the Campbell's soup can and did a masking tape mockup to see how it might fit.

I thought you were going to cut the can and use only the ribbed part. I don't know what it looks like on the bike,but the whole can seems to tall.
I think the soup can will work. Mocked up my RRB #010 Headbadge on it.
There is about a 3.5 inch tall space that needs to be covered on the shroud. In the mock up I have the can also covering the front of the bottom section
Dig it
Besides making sure that this shroud gets a decent fit and finish, I still have to work out methods of attachment that
1) Are secure and don't fall apart when I ride down cobblestone streets
2) Are removable since I plan to have a light inside of the scoop
3) Isn't obviously a soup can slapped on the front.
I think my first thoughts of accomplishing this should work fine. Now I just have to execute the plan in my head.

Love the soup can! Not sure about the double skirts. Liked just the lower ones.....Love that reflector on the car trim deal. Gonna have to try me some of this doddadery one of these days...
Maybe try the just the bottom skirts tilted out slightly for a little of that bat effect in the back?

Falstaff, we might not be married to the same woman, but we think alike...see my previous comment a few back ^...haha!
Maybe cut either the top band or the bottom band to fit your 3.5" space...keep the lower part of the shroud showing...?
Shoot! I was just about to say that front mount was exactly as I envisioned it...
Can you put the ribbed metal between the cast metal bezel and the bike frame? Maybe use led in headlight with external battery so it does not have to be removable?
Very cool!! Nice idea with the soup can. I might 'steal' that idea someday.
