Thanks everyone for your comments, even the guy with the scooter comment, ha ha ha. I think I'm gonna hold off for now. It just seemed like a neat idea, but the more I think about it, the more I think I might be losing a good thing (the current very well engineered design by Honda), for a questionable one, (a small (possibly negligible) increase in fuel consumption). Thanks again.
