Hi Terry,
From a complete novice AND vintage bike rider (
)!!!
Was looking at this frontal forest of tubes and your narrow vision slit area, surely less than 5 degree vision cone and a recipe for no side vision at all, important if you want to foresee in good time obstacles, pot holes, barrels, cones, or whatever else delimit the course 1 or 2 seconds in front of you @ 450mph!!!
Obviously, if you go forthwith with your front driver compartment, it will solve this issue at once!!!
Does some one higher up insist on so much tubing? If you slide to a rest it's useless, if you somersault, surely you want a bit of crumble availability to absorb some of the impacts and the G forces before they get to the driver???
More to the point, is carbon fiber still a no-no in LSR circles??? An F1 driver's cage is virtually indestructible, not to mention the light weight aspect!!!
