Thanks guys! Great ideas. Thanks for the jpg. I've been looking at many bikes from Bonneville and some have some pretty tight designs however each design needs to accommodate the uniqueness of the bike itself, weight, height etc. As Bicycle Bob mentions keeping the air flow smooth and consistent is the challenge. I like the idea about perhaps incorporating some type of adjustable wing design on the front wheel itself and not loading the suspension. Thanks deraingedhermit. I've looked at a lot of Criags stuff and have met him, cool guy. Actually had to go look up that Helix shell, I had forgotten what it looked like. Not my cup of tea but understandable. I'm concerned about cross winds and want to use sides of the fairing to be somewhat sharp with convected areas where holes for cross winds to have some means of escaping while it not effecting the forward air stream and not creating to many internal (?) eddies. Thanks for the thought on that too. Something to keep in mind on design.
Beater911 if you go to Bonneville it's a hoot for a couple days anyway. Like a drag strip it can be a bit boring at times. But, man, are there some really amazing automobiles and technology there. Most everyone are very cool to talk with.
Oh, I run pure diesel in the engine. So far I've run it on E-85 (worst in mileage by the way) different octanes of gasoline, kerosene, and blends as you mentioned. It has run on vegetable oil, but that was a mess and was difficult to keep the oil at an optimum for combustion. It's easier at the pump to just put whatever, that was the idea. It burns clean based on the method in which the induction system design and fuel goes through a phase change prior to entering the induction system. But that gets off topic here.
I've tested many "theories" that are out there all over the net, but only if they had any scientific merit. I like working on the bikes as it made me down size and really work out details. It's a lot of fun and I have learned a lot without breaking any laws of physics or common sense thinking. I'm really looking forward to it this year, weather permitting.
Aerodynamics is going to have to be optimal and the best design for the bike to break the record. For my class it's 156+mph. I want to break 200mph. I've calculated I have just enough power and gearing providing I can squeeze through the air just right and not wipe out. We lost two motorcyclist last year. A little scary. I don't want to get to off topic here!
Thanks guys for the welcome and suggestions.
Any links to those who have used a front wing mounted on the fender, wheel...?
