Varn thanks for the information on how you did yours, I will no dought try somthing similar in the future. The task I am facing now is building the aero body work for the Honda VT500, and have it all ready for the Vetter Challenge next year in May. I am sure that it will take until March of 2012 before the project is ready to roll and then a month of debugging before the trip to Carmel to see which of the shaft drives gets the best mpg. The question we will answer is; can an aero-modded shaft drive motorcycle get into the 80 - 90 mpg Zone under "Vetter Conditions"?
