Sendler: The nose pieces certainly make the nose easy. RE the back... while the last rearward bulkhead is an easy wood thing, the front, with its generously rounded corner, is not so easy.
RE freshening up the Helix. You are right. I need to find a good mechanic to make it right. It might be cheaper to buy an entire Helix and swap parts.
Weather Spotter: I agree. I don't think streamlining pencils out today. Why do we do it then? For me, it is to learn the TRUTH. Pioneering is pretty heady stuff.
It is possible that fuel will become precious someday. I'd like to be ready, wouldn't you? New Yorkers have been standing in long lines for 5 gallons of gas. Alan Smith goes 400 miles on 4 gallons on his Vetter streamlined Ninja.
With a streamlined, 20 hp bike, you will be as ready as is possible.
Bottom line:
What I seek is a noble goal... to be "living better on less energy."
Well, I count one vote for a nose set. Good.
