Mark Martin has great book out on back muscle development for racers.
If she is worth a 52 mile commute each day, then she's worth the price of a marriage license

I'm following Craig's and Alan's progress on the fairing. I'm more of the DIY kind of person though, so i'd make my own from scratch.

GN is a turbocharged 3.8L V6 with a TH400 Auto transmission. Its a purpose built drag racing car that I drive on the street sometimes. Even with all of its modifications, It still manages low to mid 20's on the highway.

Build UP the seat height to ease lower back pain???

She's priceless
