Will you be running SCTA or BMST?
Beautiful body.   :cheers:

Thanks Don,

I'm going to run it first at the SCTA and later the plan is to run it FIM and AMA.

I see, Astek,

The "beak" rotates with the forks, clever...

Reminds me of the "becco d'uccello" on 50's road racing Guzzi's fairings!!!

I'm still a bit worried about the rule that says that the perimeter of the front fender can't be more than 1"75 away from the tyre thread (rule 7.G.11, APS)

...What exactly are we trying to do here?...

Here's a different approach with the arms and legs visible (and hopefully not much else) . . .

I believe the rule applies to the leading edge of the fender.............

 "Porthole" vision is tunnel vision,, Aero will not be affected with a full screen following the line of the aluminium bodywork that you have,, the most important thing with a full screen is that you will have hundred percent orientation as to where you are "on course"  :-)

This topic is headed "200MPH" Vintage Class Bike Build,, to make such a statement shows that the boyz have aspirations of achieving their stated speed, I wish 'em luck, but I also want to see them achieve it "Safely",,

No, I have not seen Alp ride his bike at that speed, actually how fast has he done  :?

I have (had) a full windshield, although I do look thru my triples, and have still taken out two side markers.  But of course, your eyes are 25 years younger than mine :-o

175.625mph, is impressive on a 650 Triumph, but be assured, 200mph is a loooooong way from 175, especially when it comes to handling and aerodynamics  :roll:,,
I have experienced various wind conditions at 175mph, no problem at all, but the same conditions at 200 certinally got my attention real quick  :-D,,
As this bike gets faster, I guarantee we will see the windscreen get larger "real quick"  :wink:, and I hope that happens before we see that beautiful alley work all messed up,,

Nuff said, I'm outta here  :-)

A race bike to me is never done, it's an ongoing process. Stay`tee is correct I can make the window larger or add a second one on the other side if I need to. The frame, the body, the engine is going to be all new (designed/built) so I will figure out many things as I go but I hope I will be the first to get into the 200mph club with a pre 56 vintage class motorcycle.

I believe Max has already done that with his Vincent streamliner.

I looked in the books (SCTA/AMA), couldn't find any record over 200mph in any vintage motorcycle class, I could be wrong.
