Hi Chris, I haven't done any calculations on mechanical drag for the sprockets. How would one do that ?
Thanks for your kind words about my dad.
The paper bags that we are required to hold 4 of for the Vetter Challenge rules are 11' long x 8" wide x 17 high.
Streamliners allow a lot of options for carrying cargo. For longer trips I also carry cargo in a large tankbag under the windscreen.
It looks like the Las Vegas to Barstow Vetter Challenge will be led by a Kawasaki rep on 2013 NInja 300. It sounds like we have a larger field and hopefully some more publicity.
all the best, Vic
