I'll do another layer of cloth, then maybe fiberglass if needed.

Getting closer - The front and rear body shells are almost finished, but are ready to be properly mounted to the bike - Then I can start cutting out holes for cooling, exhaust, handle bars, etc.

We had to abort a few runs due to new bike problems (Shifter interference, throttle coupler), but I was able to get 2 clean runs before we had to leave. Unfortunately for one pass I ran too low a gear and the other pass I ran too high a gear, so I never reached max speed for the bike. I topped out at 123 MPH (against the 125 record). Very long lines on courses 1 and 2.

Cheers, Mike
