Weight reduction

I think you should hide the bottles in the trunk. Cut out the spare tire well and do some hidden compartment bs where the floor opens up to get to them. I am considering a shot til I get boost (again) and doing something like that, then when I have boost use the area to hold water for an air-water intercooler setup. I like your progress, have plans for a tubular front?

funny that you mention that. I just got a sales flyer from one of our wholesalers with the QA1 tubular front on sale so now im seriously considering it. I'm not a street racer or anything so I dont car if the bottle isnt hidden, plus I never really have a reason to open my trunk

Well I don't mean hide it to be sneaky, just something different and it would look clean.

I admit it would look neat and clean, but to me it would just be more of a hassle to take the bottle out and fill it. If done right, they can also look clean just mounted in the trunk

Sponsors are hard to get, especially during these days. You also have to have results to show why they should sponsor you. You always have to attend where they say to as well. It can sometimes not be worth it.
