 Hi everyone And Happy new year.
 I am getting ready for April so I have bin working on my tuck. I modified my foot pegs and clip on bars to get me folded up on the little bike . Naturally the mirrors and headlight wont be used for racing. I have a clean front fairing for that.But I am 6 ft tall on a 250cc bike. so I still need to do some work.
Thank you to all the volunteers

Hello Charles good to hear from you.
I am still trying to get in the 100 mph club. So that will be my goal for 2009 .
I got a 97 mph record in October running naked.And Kieth says I can't round up. I think I need the aero advantage to get there. I have the engine running very well so weather permiting I will get to try again. :cheers:
Thank you to all the volunteers

I sure seem to find alot of time lately for the new bike build. Turbo location and exhaust pipes are mocked up before the frame top tubes are welded. Tried a dry fit of the fairing before the frame is complete also. I can't wait for April to run this thing!!

Thanks John, I'm pretty stoked about it...first time I've built an entire frame. I'm jonesin' to hear that turbo spool up, although I'll be running without it until June.

Reminder about the Toy front piece -- you can get a windscreen from Zero Gravity, but also consider Gustafsson Plastics (I think that's how Leif spells it) in St. Augustine, Florida.  He'll make any shape you want - and has made more than one for the Toy.  I, for instance, sat on the bike and had photos taken showing where my head and helmet were in relation to the bodywork -- sent the photos to him, and he built a 'screen that fits my particular height needs.  Seeing that you haven't cut the windscreen hole yet you've got lots of room for variation there.  And Leif will save the specs on what you buy so you can reorder easily and get the same custom 'screen without any delay.

The bike is looking nice.  I'm anxious to hear it at Maxton in only a few months, with or without the hair dryer.

That's a good tip Jon, I used him for the windscreen on my last "Ossa" fairing on the BMW, but I didn't know he would custom build one. I will be running naked with out the "hair dryer" in April while I get the chassis and fuel injection dialed in, so I have plenty of time to get the windscreen done.

Thanks

...and the price isn't bad, either.  I don't know what Leif charges now -- but last time I bought a few years ago, it was $100 -- which was a bit less than the regular vendors were charging for an off-the-shelf unit.

Randy, that is a pretty appealing bike you're building.

The bodywork has great lines. It looks good in the white gel-coat. If it's uniform enough that it doesn't need to be blocked out, will you leave it in that finish?

Today I added a link to your site here: http://www.roadsters.com/lsr/

Thanks Dave, I will spend some time browsing your site, it looks interesting.
The finish on the fairing is pretty good, it won't need much to smooth for final paint. Thanks to Kent's crew for that, they have a quality product.
I'm dedicating the bike to my grandfather's B-24 crew and plane that were lost in action in WW2, so it will be painted to match the plane with their nose art, tail insignia and names of the crew on it. My grandfather was stationed in Wendover when he met my grandmother, so bringing the bike back there will mean something special to me.
