Hi Calfianu, reading your opening post about design compromises with the Project 100 vehicle, you would have been very welcome to post your thoughts on the thread. I welcome all opinions, both positive and negative. I like your illustrations and you have shown a stylish option for motorcycle bodywork. I agree with your comment on the Vetter tail, which I think can amplify aero issues.
To address the points you raised about manoeuvrability – the longer wheelbase does have some drawbacks, but it is a personal choice about the pro’s and con’s. I think the benefits in the finished item will support my design decisions, but then only I know how its supposed to turn out. Even then, things turn out differently to my original plan as I modify my ideas with each part I make.
This thread you have started has much merit, and I hope it broadens the knowledge base about motorcycle. I have been preparing a discussion topic thread to be posted in the Aerodynamics forum -

- my hope for this thread is that it will form a focus for technical discussions and become a resource for research findings.
