*The wheel fairings are essentially complete,which completes the lower body/chassis.I'm waiting for the relative humidity to fall to a level which will permit me to spray the automotive primer.


I've got to maintain rather large gaps around the wheels to enable attachment to a ground board,then I'll tape them up best that I can for testing.Georgi,who designed Varna for the IHPV Speed Trials told me that the tiny gap around Varna's wheel fairings constituted a major portion of the bike's drag.
*I had to brutalize the nose of Baby to get the facing material below 'grade',but since,the nose is shaping up fine.A little more Bondo and she'll be ready for 'paint.'
