Charlie Toy Fairing?

[landracing]

I have always had handling problems with the bike. of course I have only gone the speeds I have with this body work.
I have changed a few things other then the body work and it still persits.

I have made some pretty major changes to the bike but was never able to get back on the salt in 07 to test the changes out.

I made fork and shock changes, different steering stabalizer and mounting system and modified the body work. I have no clue what these will do to me, if I crash I guess I know I went the wrong way with it.

However there are many who use the bodywork and go much faster then I do. without changing anything. I think Im just dummer then the average person.

Here are some of the changes I did, I have some strong recommendations that I am going the wrong way, but that is what I love about the sport, I can do what I want and i will always think im doing the right thing until I prove to myself I was wrong.

Here are the rest

Please tell me about the tail section of your bike and what you thoughts were when you made the change.

Thanks for the pix,
Scott

my toy bodied r1 ran:
197mph unfaired on fuel with toy tail
216mph faired on fuel with toy front and rear fairing
206mph on fuel stock yamaha bodywork.

the front toy body is worth 19mph over unfaired. cheap mph for sure!

kent , i live wayyyy down here, half a world away from you and your orginization, i wouldn`t have a clue who worked for you, and if my observations have dragged up bad blood, well im sorry but it surely was not my intention to do that,,, that said, as a member of this forum i can ask what i like, and as you know lsr is new to australia, so there is a lot for us to learn,,,, now the reason i posted my observation, is that i have started on a new project, with the view to running the complete toy package, and wanted to find out more about it... i wasnt going to post till latter in the year, but since isiahstites had bought the subject up, i went with it,, i am coming over to la in november for the nhra finals, whilst there i was planning on dropping in and discussing my project with you

Are you loosing track of who all you've pissed off Kent?
A list "keeps your enemies closer", but a well phrased public statement or two can bring that list up to date by the "immediatte show of hands" it causes. 

Just trying to help, I hate to see you accidentally trick yourself into making money off someone you don't like

Hopefully I will have some answers in May when my bike goes in the A2 wind tunnel. I bought the Toy replica from Kent because I did and still do think it is the best mass produced aero body. Nice thick glass Airtech uses and how do I know?  Because I had to hack it for inspection after it had set records the previous year.     The first year (2003) it effortlessly went over 250 in each mile on seperate runs. Due to malfunctioning electronics the engine was only giving about half of it's total power. It has not handled well anytime since and I have exacerbated the problem with more ballast. Returning to it's original form still did not solve the problem. The bike was designed and built for the bodywork  (77" WB) unlike the stock frames everyone else uses. No one said this stuff is easy but we will keep trying. That is the one thing about being old, stubborn is along for the ride.

The wise will eventually learn how he got to be so old and so fast, but not before they try their wings and do a couple of face plants.

[DahMurf]

hmmm.... so Kent, does the fact that you didn't answer me infer that I'm on the naughty list or the nice list......

...and how come you answer Todd & not me when he's clearly, publically stated in no uncertain terms that he does NOT love you!? 

maybe your fairing was on my list of future parts as I strive to single handedly take over the land racing world on my little bike! What's a girl to do?

Be patient with him, he is just a (kid) guy.
That goes for both of them.

kent, i post an innocent question on here, the comments recieved by everyone have been very informative, thankyou,, however your response has left me gobsmacked, by all means, pm, my said comments concerning gary to him and me, (in my words, not your interpertations).
if you have a problem with aussies thats your problem, i have no and never have had a problem with gary, and until now, you, as we say in australia "build a bridge, get over it". ..
