As Ural Speed freak myself, it's good to hear some of the smaller brands are getting into this Bonnieville thing. Speed is good! I do note that they are using the 1987 fairing for the bike, which was the same design Gordon Jennng ran so many years ago,. Check your Cycle World, circa 1966 for that story.


200 mph is dang fast and to do so with a 1955 motor and 1966 streamlining these boys are ok in my book


Kudos to the lot you you!

Blake,


Check out the old Cycle World stuff in the middle 60's with Gordon Jennings. The Fairing is the same look as the Buell in the 80's. Big round and bulbus... if that is a word.

To go fast Jenning's found you needed to be round and fat, not edgy and sharp like today's look.


The more your learn, the old guys have been there and done that before...


I think the article with the best pictures was in 1966 with the testing of a Sportster engined race bike. That is the same fairing design used in the 80's for the Buell's


Phat is back!... and maybe for the street too, if some one would make a kit maybe it would sell...


They would sure look different...Phat Fairings...
