Topspeed?

They say this is available for the 14R as well.

Really ugly, but for LSR guys it might make all the difference.

What do you guys think? Skip to 2.25

I'd suggest watching the whole vid for entertainment.

Looks like it would improve aeros. I wouldn't think it would help engine temp but if only raised for 30 seconds, it might be ok at high rpm with warm engine.

lowered it looks pretty cool but i don't like it up. As far as really increasing speed like most things, would have to see some independant testing before accepting it as fact. 331kmh is 205, and I'm pretty sure a stock 14R will do that all day long with minimal mods.

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seenLOL.Totally...'unaerodynamic'...just look at it...does it 'fit' with any styling of a modern windtunnel designed bike?...dangerous if ya ask me...which you didn't of course;)The idea of 'slipping' through the wind is totally lost with this blunt protruding front fender add on.See any jetfighters with anything even remotely looking like that on ANY airfoil surfaces?

It's a joke,right...?A shape like that is generally used to interfere with the airflow over a surface...not help it move faster...sheeshLOL!!!(I noticed they say..."creates more downforce on the front wheel"...yeah...no shit.The lsr people's bikes don't NEED to get more force on the front wheel...they're already designed to have the right amount of frontend downforce as is.

That thing is ugly but I guess if your doing top speed runs everyday its practical.
