Cycle wings are lighter and don't generate as much front end lift at speed.
Clamshells protect a bit more from cr*p being thrown up from the road and give a period look.

If you really like clamshells then go for it, but I doubt many here would pick them given the choice.

Clamshells don't suffer from metal fatigue and fall into the road...

I quite like the look, but that's just me!

Clam shells add about 50% to the aero drag and generate lift.
