3) I removed my stock mirrors and replaced them with some mirrors I made with some round convex stick-on mirrors and some steel strapping.
I just filled up today and it was my second best tankfill mpg average ever: 63 mpg. I had been getting high 50 mpg tanks since starting the aeromods, up from low to mid 50 tanks without aero mods. Things are looking up.

Looking good L&S getting into the next 10 mpg zone is always gratifying. for myself I am still in the planing stage for this winters build season. My wood supply for the wood stove in the garage was helped by a recent wind storm that blew some trees over that I snagged and managed to split with an electric log splitter lent to me by a friend. As for the the VT500 I have plans to go more radical on the aero in order to get into the 80 -90 mpg range.
