Does E-B-R racing have a different fairing to cut air drag on feet and shins? I know they have a problem on top speed.

I guess this is a stupid or I'm just thinking outside the box.

No your not I listened to Geoff May on the radio last night and he said the bike hits an aerodynamic wall at 165 to 170. He said the bike has too much frontal area. The fairing is that way for the Daytona Sport bike class to make the racing competitive between the 1125 and the 600's. Since there is no more Buell they have to run the bikes as 2009 model year bikes with no up grades to the body work.

Could you run passenger pegs for a more aerodynamic tuck?

It is my understanding that the problem is at the front of the bike. It is trying to move to much air through the radiators causing the air to backup thusly causing an increase in drag. This is only my opinion and I may be interpreting wrong.
