why are you doing the back ferring first?
the front is what gives you the most aerodynamic and range improvements.
If you go back and watch the older videos in the series first, I know boring right?, you will find out in order to properly place the turret / front cowl you have to know your seating position first. When I first set the bike up with the default seating position I realized something was off after finding the "ideal" location for the turret on my computer.
A quick email exchange with Vetter confirmed this and he said I need to lower my seating position and flatten out the rear. These are both tough challenges on a 2013 frame given the rear is not straight to start with. Terry only had to extend his rear frame out where as I would have to cut part of the frame off and then extend it out.
The mock-up's I have been doing are to try and figure out the best way to build the rear out so it is both stable, strong, and doesn't interfere with the bikes function. The idea being to identify any issues now before committing to cutting the frame. Once I cut off those two supports jetting out at an angle from the bike there is no going back unless I find a very good welder. In fact one of my early ideas was to simply cut these and rotate them then reweld them.
So basically I need to figure out the rear first before going on to the front, but this doesn't mean I need to make the rear first though it would be nice to have seating once I cut the frame ^_^
