Charlie Toy Fairing?

[Dean Los Angeles]

it would be legal to use a Dustbin fairing on solo-bikes if the Dustbin fairing is mounted above the  axcle of the front wheel.........

7.G.11 There must be no streamlining forward of the front edge of the front rim.

Thanks Dean, like I noted my SCTA/BNI Rule book
is not with me..........yes, that would rule out a Dustbin fairing...........................................................
To bad, for I feel we could see some outstanding
speeds at SCTA/BNI events if they were allowed.
In regards to their sensitivity to side winds...this could be controlled by the event official just like the M/C liners are now.
AMA/FIM=BUB rule 6.A.
Minimum of 180 degrees must be showing of the front and rear wheel. It must not be blocked by streamling.  Streamlining over the wheel must not extent below the axels...........

Ok guys what about aerodynamics of different fairings? Has anyone ver tested the aero of several motorcycle fairings and posted the info?

If you wish to see the partially streamlined bikes have the same crash rate as the full streamliner, it is going to require they have the same level of protection.
It is not mechanical failure or the speed , but the speed of the changes in the conditions over the distance traveled.

Scott the toy fairing is worth minimum 10 mph over oem style bodywork. pay close atttention to symetrical mounting and side winds.

Thank you Jason.........

you're welcome Scott.
the toy body is the cheapest mph around. Kent hooked me up with one and we set 6 records at speedweek in 2004(qualified for the 7th record but thats another story!)

I have already talked to Kent about buying the fairing from him and is what I have planned on going with all along, I was just trying to find any info I could about the fairing.

Thanks again,

The HD has some advantage over the big cammers because it can be relativly narrow.

Also Vincent's, look at Dave Matson's nice bike.

Dave is faster than the average bear.
I remember when the Vintage Class was invented , he said he would rather run "Heads Up" against everybody else.
Dave is "Real " vintage , and at the top of the list.

if the charlie toy fairing package is so good, why is it that the fast busa`s are using catalyst composites fairings

[landracing]

Because they offer a direct bolt on setup without having to modify their bikes, make brackets, most will go with bolt on then the challenge of getting a good fairing on. takes alot of time and effort to do it. Also it may not fit real good on the chassis so by right the oem may be better then a toy fairing. don't know if anybody has tried to get they Toy fairing on a busa? Noonan ran a rear tail section of the Toy setup and felt the OEM was just as good. however I think the Toy body is a total package and would not offer the gains by using just part of it.
