Here are some pictures of the slow progress on the CBR600, and a picture of a home made wind tunnel buit by a friend of mine for a science olympics event for junior high and high school stundents. the students where given a 3"x3"x9" long peace of styrofoam insulation and where challenged to build a "car" like object, and the winner would be the team that had the lowest drag as tested in the home made wind tunnel. the original block of styrofoam had drag of 100 the best "car" had a drag of 31. After the event one group asked if they could improve on there design and they managed to get down to a drag of 26.
There is now a group of high school students who understand basic aerodynamics...
