Next steps:
Add material, panels that is, to improve cosmetics of nose to door junction at foot openings.
Make patterns for engine firewall below seat.
Add panels to begin to explore effect of closing rear of body.
Operation thus far indicates need for convenient door "latching". The oversize Acco clip works but only marginally. Velcro is only a stop-gap measure - I will try it - not a satisfactory long-term solution. Proper door security is mandatory in later versions.
While the single layer side panels suffice, placing strategically placed doublers will solidify fairing. Flexing is very minor at maximum legal speed, however I find the flex something I would prefer to further minimize.
An engine firewall and a better floor, right now there is just tubing, will improve rider comfort. Adjusting floor angle small amounts seems to have large effects on comfort.
