Good luck with the planed body work Vince. If you think your big, Hell I have to look like Fat Albert with a green jacket on when I ride. After reading this thread, I wonder now how fast my bike will go with no mods except for a Muzzy full system. Because at 6'4 255 I know I cand lean over enough to creat "clean" air. Hope to see you post something close to or in excess of 200 mph soon

I've actually started doing that recently. I only pick up my head enough to see the tach.

I would be happy if I was your small size! I have the same weight, but 5 inches shorter! With my Stock engine, If I cannot go 190, then I have failed. I feel that I will need the Stroker and Bore to be around 1340 to even have a prayer to reach 200 in the standing mile. I do want 200 without spray, but I am going 200 with or without it!

Front part too high. Plan to fix this with the removal of the gas tank!
Very Aero! ZX12R

Close! Stock engine more or less with a straight pipe ran about 193 and then 197, then 210. Bergis says he sprayed it! I am not sure! But you see what I mean about "AERO"!!

Actually it is a special fairing made for the ZX 12 and even has a careful made ram air that needs to be extended 1 inch!

ONe trick I have picked up over the years Vincentis to put a dense foam pad on the tank. About 2 inches thick. It is a chin pad. When I tuck and put my helmet down I have troubles bending the old neck enough to see and by putting the helmet chin on the pad I can rotate the helmet up so I can see out of the visor! Works damn well and lets you bend down behind the screen and still see!

Actually I have a 1 inch thick dense black foam pad, but there is no need for it with the present set up because I can not get to it and stay. That is why I am removing the top part of the tank (To make way for my Body 54 Chest 44 waist takes a lot of space) then I will use a 1/2 inch foam pad over the entire area and adjust it to see. Plus the new shield will be clear to the bottom in front. I must first fit the bike!
