Finally,here are some shots of the project.
The aluminum splitters have pushed the nose of the trailer out enough to simulate a close-following trailer and the outer profile better integrates to the rails and base of of the truck bed.
One photo is of my 'Inspector 'who comes by from time to time to check the aerodynamics,She's an expert!
Also,there are two shots of the diffuser coming back to life.I just laid the wheel fairings on it,they're not attached and will need work.
I got up before 5:00 this AM to road test the trailer but it was raining.We desperately need precip,so it's okay.
Finally,there's a photo of the NT 650 Honda Hawk components which will be morphed into the trailer to get the H-speed rating.
