Streamlining CBR600 for Bonneville & Vetter Challenge
I have a 1988 Honda CBR 600 that had a damaged fairing that needs replacement. So what I plan to do is build a dustbin type fairing with cargo space for 4 bags of groceries, and see if I can get into the 150 mph club at Bonneville and then get over 100mpg at the Vetter Challenge.
The numbers from the aero/rolling resistance calculater are
Wt 660 lbs
Crr 0.015
Cd 0.30
A 6.5 sq ft
CdA 1.95ft/0.18m
Eff 22%
Dr Tr 95%
Para 500 watts
This should get me 101.26 mpg @ 65 mph, and should need 49.5 bhp at 155 mph the bike is supposed to have 85 bhp.
