Did you know, capless gas fill? They will have to make the gas door, lock.

This is supposed to be a lighted badge, along with the sillplate.

Nice photos. Not sure why the exposed brake line should be a concern, motorcycles have them exposed and it's not an issue for them. :cool:


EDIT: At best I would just secure it better to the swing arm there for safety reasons.

Jerome Vassallo, seemed to think it was a concern. I didn't ride when hydraulics became popular, but I had two friends
that had their cables cut by, who knows? Lots of nasty people out there..

At better: enclose the swing arm in a single piece of molding for aerodynamics and hide the brake line inside that.

I don't think that would work. The way it's set up the molding would create a box that would be more in the way and create more drag than reduce it. This style of suspension is similar to what Indy car and Formula 1 uses.

In that case I described it poorly, when it comes to aerodynamics the Aptera is my gold standard and is what I had in mind.
