Yeah clearly applying 4x damage to a windshell from a FC is not a smart interpretation of the rules - each cycle component should only take damage once - so a windshell cycle should be able to drive through a couple FCs. A windshell should protect all 'internal' components of the bike until the armor is breached (engine, cyclist, weapons).
CA cycles should also be fine (but a windshell is better for a FC because each component will take separate FC damage).

The Flame Cloud was, to my mind, the death of the cycle gang -- they come storming up in a pack, and <FLOONT>. Not even mines or spikes in the "checkerboard of doom" pattern could manage that level of single-shot devastation. And Cycle Windshells and/or Component Armor didn't help; the FC hit *every* exposed surface, so that armor went away fast.
