I installed James Aircraft wheel pants on my kr. They are also supposed to be
pressure recovery fairings and they are for 5.00x5 but I am using 4.00x5 tires
I gained a good solid 10 MPH with 2180 VW power plant. My wheel pants are
installed low and tight and would not work well on turf.

Subject: KRnet> Questions for those with RV wheelpants
My wheelpant brackets have broken again. Part of living on a turf strip I know
but replacing them is getting a bit tiresome.
If I’m making new brackets, I’m thinking of gaining the reported speed
increases with the RV “pressure recovery” style. I have 5.00x5 tires on N133RM.
Q1: Which pants “size” did you install? There are 2; one for the RV12 model and
the other larger one for everything else.
Q2: What tire size do you have?
And I guess Q3: Can you share any information about how you mounted them?
Thank you.
