[QUOTE="davidd, post: 35812, member: 1177"] Through an unfortunate series of events I have been unable to do much of anything Vincent this year except write some articles and chat on the forum. I make changes to the racer every season as part of the normal racing development that goes along with competing. The below photos show the improvements I made at the end of the season in 2011 and the winter of 2012. While trying to up my record at Maxton during the last meet, I pushed back on the seat hump so I could get low and the seat collapsed. As a result I built a new seat frame and seat for road racing that was longer so I could tuck in better on the straights. I also built a seat for Landspeed racing that was considerably longer and supported by struts from the footrest plates that is not shown. Additionally, I narrowed both seats up near the tank. When altering the seat I made the number plate on the seat wrap around the exhaust which had been designed late in the season. I also lowered the seat quite a bit and had to make a new exhaust hanger. I went back to stock handlebars, which improved my lap times considerably. I made a new front number plate bracket from bar stock. the original tubular bracket cracked a number of times.
