Bonneville Streamliner


The Streamliner Fitting


The next step towards 'Bonneville' was for Bar to head out to Bob Williams' Team Arrow Racing shop for a fitting in the Streamliner. He got to see and understand the inner workings of the bike and eventually climbed in for the first fitting. The bike now has to be adjusted to fit his measurements precisely as there's very little room to move inside the 2 foot diameter enclosure. The seat, foot pedals, and controls have to be exactly where he needs them to be. The previous pilot was taller so everything's being moved up for Bar. His measurements were also needed for his fireproof riding gear (including fireproof underwear!)

This is where the power comes from! The Turbo-charged Honda sleeved-down 490cc 16 Valve DOHC engine.

Streamliner offers limited interior space for the pilot
Bar inside the cockpit which shows how little room there actually is inside for the pilot!

Once he's inside, the control panel is lowered, including the handlebars, and he's now fully enclosed. If you're wondering how he sees where he's going, it's via a periscope peering out the top of the rig. No kidding.
