acting on teh assumption that themotor is okay for the moment, maybe 60 horsepower, i'm going to clean up the chassis aero:
-- box in where the round blue oil tank is, maybe build a tank to fill that space and also fair in the front of the rear wheel, something like the old manx builders did.
except fold in around the front of the rear wheel . . .
-- bring the pipes into the centerline of the bike behind the front wheel, run them directly underneath and dump there. their length is fixed, really, two inches longer or shorter slow the machine 4 mph, and so i don't know what that turbulence will do directly under the motor.
-- tuck in everything that can be tucked in, cables in, number plates ditched (i'll just stick numbers on the box
-- anything else i can think of
a big lump in the front is my head. my helmet expeires after this coming year, and i'd like to try out a helmet that's built with aero in mind. lots of them claim turbulence reduction, and the one i have now is cvastly better than the bells i've been wearing for decades. but maybe something better is around.
dunno. but i have time to think
