Tiny computer controlled canard type wings are something I have given a lot of thought to.

What do you mean: "It won't or does not work"? It certainly does. That's why Ducati used them in the first place. The winglets on the front aid in reducing front end lift under acceleration and also provide increased d
ownforce during cornering. All of the other factories would not have followed Ducati's example if it were not an advantage. As a matter of fact, since the ban of external winglets factories are developing internal bodywork aerodynamics to help provide the same benefits as the winglets.
There is at least one potential drawback though. Front tire wear can be accelerated due to the increased grip due to the downforce created by the winglets while cornering.
