I have had the VT500 out for a 20 mile road test and things are looking good although there is still work to be done. I will take it for a 120 mile road test next week. At present I am still working on the internal air flow in the fairing to insure that I have enough air flow for the radiator. One of the pictures shows the headlight mount the other shows how big the area of the lower opening really is. I will be reducing this from the outside in so that more of the air goes around the outside of the front fairing, and the air that does get into the fairing is put to good use.
