Here's the bike. I like the headlight and windshield, but I think the rest of the front end needs lots of work. I tried loweringthe handlebars using the stock clip ons, and found them to be not to be easily changeable. I will be looking for a set of adjustable clipons soon. I did lower the front end about 1/2 inch this morning, it mght be possible to lower it a little more without worry. I will be removing the front fairing sometime this week to figgure out how best to mount a better fairing. I will be shaping fiberglass over styrofoam as I have in the past. I think I can keep the bike under 22inches wide, and 8feet long. I'll also be going for light weight. Bulkheads as safety features probably won't work, since ill be riding in a tuck and the tail will only be about 6-8inches high.
