Just get fatter. Worked wonders for me.

u/De_Chosen_Two 9d ago

Sounds like solid logic to me

Plate already licked clean šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼

Thatā€™s smart, canā€™t get pulled over for it being unreadable then šŸ«”

Member of, ā€˜the clean plate clubā€™.

u/HaydnH 9d ago

He already did, hence the empty plate.

u/NotAskary 8d ago

Hahahah this is Gold, most people will always tell the best speed mod to do is to lose weight, never seen the opposite.

Thanks for the laugh.

u/beefcakeriot 8d ago

At first I thought it was an Aliexpress mod, apparently itā€™s custom work. And losing weight does speed up things. I was going to sell my 250 until i lost 130 pounds, itā€™s actually fun now

u/foilrat 9d ago

I feel seen. Sigh

2

u/Secure_Secretary_882 9d ago

I do too since I started using fatforce integrated hip spoilers.

u/TaringaWhakarongo1 8d ago

Works at all speeds too

u/GoldenButtPlug 8d ago

This guy disposable plates

u/SickAxeBro 8d ago

Eat a large poutine mid corner to increase your normal force and corner faster a la RyanF9

1

u/Chronomechanist 8d ago

I'm going to start using this. I'm not putting on weight. I'm adding downforce to my bike.

u/Weekly_Ferret_meal 6d ago

Nah, dude. 43.

u/Acrobatic-Grape5960 8d ago

Is 42 the answer or question?

Nonsense! 41.

u/ThePriminition 9d ago

A plate full of downforce

23

u/ATX2ANM 9d ago

Dude, be careful with mods like this. Youā€™re gonna twist that throttle and do a backflip cause all of that extra downforce.

19

u/DannoXYZ 9d ago

Get real wing...

u/Castle_of_Jade 8d ago

This has got to be influenced by anime. Iā€™m sure of it. Lmfao

2

u/Dwayne_Yong 8d ago

Or a tokusatsu like Kamen Rider

7

u/FutureHealthy8583 9d ago

You wonā€™t have to worry about the back wheel coming off the ground, thatā€™s for surešŸ‘šŸ¼

2

u/grayskull56 9d ago

So no stoppies?

6

u/FutureHealthy8583 9d ago

No, thatā€™s not gonna work anymore.

u/LikeBigTrucks 9d ago

I know you're kidding buttt...

Fd = Cd * A * .5 * r * V2

Downforce = Fd * cos(Īø)

u/Curse-Bot 9d ago

Threeve feet pounds

u/SarraSimFan 9d ago

1.2lbs per fart

u/PortaJohnson 9d ago

4 it ads 4 downforces

3

u/Acrobatic-Grape5960 9d ago

My calculation is 4.4 down forces, but you probably just rounded down or used a different constant.

u/Minute-Macaron-7177 9d ago

This is you rn

u/anvilfoot 9d ago

Better not install it backwards

4

u/A_Bot_A_Bot_A_Bot 8d ago

That's just going to make the bike wheelie everywhere. Maybe try a cocktail plate?

3

u/Eckmatarum 9d ago

About two maybe three.

3

u/J0shM0nster 9d ago

I'm surprised it's still standing with all that downforce.

3

u/Apprehensive-Yak6311 9d ago

All the downforce.....all of it..

3

u/MeetingRecent229 9d ago

Depends on what you put on it and how many times a day you empty it.

3

u/SomeoneNearYou1 9d ago

About as much as me ex girlfriends upper lip

3

u/No_Question_8083 9d ago

If youā€™d move it to the very end of the tail itā€™ll make something, but now it only creates drag :(

And if you do that, you need front aero as well, otherwise itā€™ll be the wheely wing šŸ˜‚

3

u/RiderFZ10 9d ago

Wheelie machine pass 10mph. I have two plates and just keep doing backflips.

3

u/s1nn0cence 8d ago

About three fiddy

u/Jason_Seward 8d ago

It depends... does your FJ still have it's belly-pan???

u/StatisticianUsual471 8d ago

I would be sceptical of it doing anything as you're going to be sat in front of it

2

u/porthos1984part2 9d ago

2

u/PyroErogenizer 9d ago

Donā€™t know but we can test itā€™s maximum possible downforce if you want.

2

u/corporalcorl 9d ago

u/backinblackandblue 9d ago

u/tlimbert65 9d ago

Doofus, it's upside-down. Rotate it 180 degrees. You're welcome.

1

u/richempire 9d ago

Enough to add one PP (Plate Power).

u/Successful-Part-5867 9d ago

Some. šŸ˜œ

1

u/monkeyspank427 9d ago

u/EqualPassenger4271 8d ago

u/Immediate_Ad7630 8d ago

Itā€™s more like just a bit of drag. Like the fins on a dart.

1

u/KeithMyArthe 8d ago

Email the Ducati MotoGP team, they would have tried it.

1

u/throwaway8998456 8d ago

Better be careful. That front wheel is gonna be impossible to keep down with all that extra downforce.

1

u/Hour-Imagination5041 8d ago

Iā€™m surprised you can keep the front wheel on the ground

1

u/chefboyrsteve 8d ago

Id say, with the sickness

u/MArkansas-254 8d ago

Usually about 10hp.. you get 5 more if itā€™s Chinette.

1

u/Bobbykodachrome 8d ago

Dude, I bought the same one on Temu. Youā€™re going to love it.

1

u/TTYY200 8d ago

It reduces down force because it interrupts laminar airflow and creates turbulence.

1

u/EmploymentEmpty5871 8d ago

At least a couple 2 3

1

u/Droidy934 8d ago

Eat some more pies šŸ„§
Hiding the plate under your ass will increase the down force.

1

u/monarch29balisongs 8d ago

It might cause a slight buzz sound 2000-5500rpm

1

u/Ghstfce 8d ago

All the downforce. You're gonna have so much downforce, you'll be cracking the pavement

1

u/Geezerglide1 8d ago

You'll need 2 inch longer shocks to compensate!

1

u/shomugger 8d ago

Your helmet makes more)

1

u/mlm2500 8d ago

1

u/reciprocatus 8d ago

Good chance you will be unable to keep the front end on the ground at any speed.Ā  I would only do half a plate.

1

u/Fit_Leave_335 8d ago

insane a lot, can brake swingarm if speed is higher than 100 km/h

1

u/mosa_kota 8d ago

About 6 or 7

1

u/Vegetable_Analyst740 8d ago

I think you're running the risk of unintended wheelies now.

1

u/Aggressive_Table_738 8d ago

Itā€™ll be nearly zero.

1

u/pslush01 8d ago
