Thank you for the link.

 Your welcome. Awesome fabrication and construction. Wish I could find more info and pics on these machines. Might try an email to the site host and ask the builders to contact ROV about the Visions. Just made the connection that the FZR framed racer is the one in the ROV gallery!

If you look closely at the 750 pic, you'll notice the caps of two guys on the left side of the bike.  how much you wanna bet their changing a stator, lol!

if one looks closely, he or she will see, every one of those stroker bikes has an OIL COOLER!

    now to get the info and make it happen ,,,,,,,,

I have a right side engine cover sitting here with a galley pluged, and another tapped to accept a line, with the return being at the filter cover (which I don't have).

I wouldn't even try it unless it was on a parts bike though.. too chickenschit to try it on my own bike.

Originally I chased the idea to help keep the stator cooler, but moving the R/R to the passenger peg seemes to be the more sane solution.

pics availavle upon request.

I have a pic of a Vision that Kenny Roberts built with chain drive , however the pic shows no detail.

Vmax's for drag racing are converted to chain all the time. A friend of mine has one. It is doable since the drive train is very similar between the 2 bikes. I do not know all the details. But I believe the cases are split and a longer output shaft(for sprocket), maybe addition bearing  and  surely a seal are installed.
