Thanks OG, You are correct the Kammback is too high at the back because the sides are at too much of an angle. The plan is to build one from sheet aluminum that is larger and fits the template.

Lowering the 94 VX did help improve MPG, but we also plan some stealth aero mods.

The weather here is starting to get cooler and wetter, so the MPG will begin to be a challenge for a few months. I was just able to do a tank of 78 MPG even with headlights in the morning and light rain for 100 miles.

That's why the Red Mule 92 VX is in the shop right now. We are planning on adding pre- heaters for the oil and water and also a larger battery and alternator off switch.

My goal is to see if these mods can keep my winter MPG from deteriorating too much from what I was doing this summer, but we will see.
