Well I took my Vision to the local 1/8 strip and actually won the whole class! I was running a 9.75 dial in, and running 9.79, with a .001 reaction time as my best. Took out ALL the fast sleds, 1200's, and 600's! Bike ran good, but on the top end it has nothing for gearing. How hard is it to convert to a chain drive?
Has anyone built up the 550 for more hp? or thrown a modern engine in a vision? ;D

thanks

The Vision IS a modern engine. Water cooled, 4 valves, down draft carbs. What's more modern than that?

I meant like a real modern, like a gixxer 1000 engine or something. Would that work?

thanks

Gotta luv 'em GM boats.

I think they used one like it in Mad Max: Road Warrior.  I think it was the one with the multi-spear gun in the back where the trunk used to be.
