Janvos; Thanks for the suggestion. I am in the part of the project where I am generating Ideas on how to make it better the next time, but must carry on with the present design so that I have a finished project to test. Lowering the seat will have to wait...At present I have 4 other motorcycle projects in variouse states of development, one older Ford AeroStar mini van project that will soon be at the top of the list, then back to the Yaris aero project development so that my whole fleet is in the 3.? L/100km Zone [60 > 70mpg]. It is astonishing how much the average vehicle can be improved by the most basic aerodynamics modificaations.
