[redyaris]

I have chosen to lower the seat height to what can be accumplished without cutting the frame, this is about 2" - 3" which will give me a seat height of 29" +/-. I will be leanig forward, but some what less than stock, because of the lower seat height. I will not add any rear fine area as that will cause unnessisary affects from cross winds in normal raod riding, in fact I will be trying to reduce the rear side area to that which will accomidate 4 bags of groceries. the top of the behinde the rider cargo space will be a semi-circle; again to reduce side wind affects [at Bonneville if there is more than a 3 mph cross wind the runs are postponed, not so on the road...]. Much of this is from what I have learned from my VT500 project over 3000 miles. I will be using the same basic design as the VT500; which is aluminium skin over aluminium bulk heads. Much more care will be directed toward internal air duckting than with the VT500. On the CBR 600 the radiator is high and wide which will make ducting easier, and the front fender does a much better job of streamling the front wheel/forks. The transvers inline engine layout make cooling easier than with a V-twin Layout.
