Aero mods?

What do the 12 riders do? I tied and taped my 9 to the point that it wasn't road legal in most states (Missouri have some very lax laws when it comes to road legal!).

hmmmm.tied and taped eh? you sure this is this your "bike" you`re talking about? You won`t realize any noticable gain or aero advantage until you hit the wall,whatever it is for that bike...over 150MPH anyways. The bike is already designed to be as aero as possible while still being practical so Kawasaki didn`t leave much on the table but...You can do a couple of things that will make a real difference. #1-replace the front fender,use a `busa fender or a LSR fender from Airtech #2- remove the mirrors and run pigspotters #3- lower the bike. Beyond that all the ducktape you can handle won`t amount to any "worthwhile" improvements for all the mess
