Aero

Wow! Radical aero mods. I won't need anything like that since I lay on the tank. I would like just another two inches on the wind screen. Hopefully Zero Gravity will soon make a double bubble for it.

I realize the 550 cc engine size, weight and shaft drive all are working against me in acheiving really high MPG but will keep working on it as its my only motorcycle. A fuel-injected 250cc bike like your new Honda seems to be the one of the best starting points out there. I'd suggest changing your chain sprockets for lower rpm cruising speeds and better aero. TheycallmeBrian got 1 100+mpg tank with his regeared Ninja 250, Alan Smith got 94mpg in the last Vetter Challenge ride on his Ninja 250 .
Keep working at it and you'll see some great results.
All the best L&S
