The longer fairing will hit the knees.

Looking much better there, Lorenzo. Avanti!

[jsandidge]

Even the shorter version looks ridiculously long to me.

You might have a point there...

go back to post #11 (we do not want to clutter the thread, with replicas of the same image with lile diffs)

the anthropomorphic measurement are related to the wheelbase length and my actual measurements!

The foot seems quite a distance from the shifter there ...

post #11 again

I tend to ride with the peg under the front bottom of the sole, not between the heel and the plantar....

But I think the pegs will have to be relocated (further aback) as well...

So, we've agreed so far, with the lenght of the side of the fairing, even though, I would not have minded, having the leg off the air stream), I guess the rear tip of the fairing, will have to be a little curved to deflect the air, to compensate for this.

The big eight o'clock question for today is: will this lose me the laminarity of the stream??

My apologies, if my comment above offended you. It was not my intent.

I have seen the depicted bike with a Wes Cooley fairing and I recall the bike looked awesome with it......... not sure if that is what you are after.

You Kidding???
Let me stigmatize though, the nature of the media we communicate with;

If I write: "..bla bla bla, removed etc etc" someone might think I feel harassed, but believe me, that is a feeling I want to save for those face-to-face meetings, end not for a forum.
OK, there are "smileys" but I gather the average age of us colleagues, is XXsomething, so forgive if I not use them with abundance;

The reason I went to this extent, in reassuring you, is because I have frequently had misunderstandings, even with my next of language kins, and I simply bailed off, cause I did not bother to go through all the explaining, but I feel this forum has an "human capital" rare to find around, so I would like to stick around...

That's it with the rant....

No, I would like something of my own device, (I have no problem with GRP) so It will have to suit me.

Thanks

I'm probably missing something, but with the position of the shopped leg, it seems the butt that would marry with the thigh would be sitting on the extreme rear passenger portion of the seat.

edit.. I guess if the x marks the hip joint, the rump might fall on the border between the rider and passenger areas

[Lorenzo]

you are absolutely right man..!
If I where to save my face, I would say that: with clip-ons, rear sets and a cafe' seat, you would probably end up, sitting that far, but at the moment it has no clip-ons nor rear-sets or cafe seat to show for, so nowhere left for me to hide,
but,
we'll get there.

Thanks

With a 4 pipe set-up.I would like see it and what others think of a "monza"(I believe) style.Melting of really old and the classic 80's rear end?

The fairing on my bike is roughly the same shape, but the rear end is more toward the front. The rear ends are curved downwards, to allow the fitting of leg shrouds (covers), which I have never fitted.

[Lorenzo]

excellent, what are the dynamics of the fairing, at various speeds, say 2,500-3,000 and 4000 RPM?
could you please post a front view as well?
thanks

Do not know about the Monza style... can you post pics?

Four pots would probably look gorgeous; the pipes could be smaller and slender (we do not need extra weight), thanks to the improved extraction of gases;

Thanks

Does anyone happens to have blueprints of the GS1000? I mean more or less outlined drawings of the front, side and top view?

something like: http://www.picsauto.com/imgs/13854-s...50-s-katana/8/
