well thats sounds cool he must have gave up on trying to bore the engine.i have chopped off the fairing on my fz6,and put a honda 919 headlight on it and some aluminium parts,im going for the streetfighter look,i have gotten the bike up to 108 hp and thats without a powercommander! max'ed it out at 168mph.and thats only a 600cc bike can u imangine a hayabusa the bike only weighs 392lbs though will post some pics

For any "geeks" out there other than me, here's the equation you could use to calculate it:

D = Cd * A * .5 * V^2

Drag from the air is the coefficient of drag (this is how aerodynamic your steed is...a typical car = .3, a typical m/c = .9).  A is the frontal area in square feet (typical car = 20, typical m/c = 8), and velocity must be expressed in ft/sec.  (This equation is simplified since at a given altitude air viscosity will not change much.)

(This is mostly just for fun since Cd always has to be tested in a wind tunnel for empirical values and A must be meticulously calculated.  Also this "simplified" equation will not yield "correct" units, they would need to be converted to lb-f, then to HP to be useful for us

Anybody got a spare wind tunnel?
