These people did. You could get an expert to redo the styling, but the MPG results impress.
Interesting reading, thanks for the linky
Wouldnt want to fall off that.. no way of being thrown clear!
Funnily enough something I'd been thinking of doing myself only I never find the time - have never understood why feet forward bikes are not the
norm.
Fascinating reading
Re, getting chucked off, surely you're (generally) better to slide down the road inside a fibreglass shell than get thrown into the air &
hit god knows what, to say nothing of coming down - I would have thought the answer would be a rollover protection & strap yourself in!

Inherently more dangerous. One rear ender and you are history. Hit something and you thigh bones will probably end up about a foot behind you.
It's obviously preferable to hit something with your head rather than
your feet!
That's the thought that keeps coming back to me every time I get hung-up about a safety issue on any of my projects... why did I get into small
cars and the likes - because I had to give up my bike! How safe was my bike... NOT AT ALL, SO JUST GET ON WITH IT!

Yes, why would you mess about with such a safe design as a motorbike.
