I'm green. Not as in eco, but as in with envy. I'm just going to have to stick with building a Coroplast shell around my Greenspeed.

Hey,

That's definitely a viable option, nothing wrong with it.

Have you been over to Bentrider Online and the forums there? Can get some good input and info on coroplast builds.

Another place I spend too much time on.

I just got some Coroplast to build a shell for the trike and maybe a tailbox for my Ryan and then grill blox, belly pans, dams...

Thanks for the advice guys. Some interesting ideas here.

And the sensors/equipment and software to measure drag - does anyone have any experience with any of the systems out there? How easy are they to get hold of and set up?

PS. loving the Quest and the other HPV!
