Patrick - for my main prototype (dont forget this is just a spin-off project) I found a more elegant solution to the outrigger problem but it is not perfected yet. For this vehicle I will start with a simple movable body section through which I can extend my leg(s) when needed
JasonG - I'm agonising over that point. I know I really should but I also like the look of an open wheel. Reading other threads there seems to be a big question about sidewind stability, which I'm sure will be worse with a fully integrated body enclosure of the rear wheel. I could make a section that moves with the swing arm (like a "super hugger") and try that but it will be one of the final jobs on the list. But I do intend making the exhaust muffler as a deflector to clean-up airflow to the rear tyre (theres a new kawasaki does something similar) and energise the wake with exhaust gasses.
Thanks for your interest guys - I would love to hear more opinion
Pete
