That clip was great, the handling looks fine too.

Do you have any idea how small that cross vent can be while still eliminating the "side lift"?

I think this guy is ahead of us in implementing good ideas to come to the fantastic FE.
Very interesting to follow his improvements.

Maybe it can be a sticky article in this motorcycle/scooter catagory????

American and Europe had better get with it,enclosed cabin motorcycles ,tilters are a huge improvement to the existing infrastructure.They reduce grid locks,emissions,oil imports[if there were large numbers]We need to push these companies to step outside their comfort zone.Thanks for your interest.
