I believe you need a mill also, but you should contact John Clemons ( he has  a post in general board right now ) on the difficulty in doing this . His XZFr650 is based on the Vision engine. He knows the drill.

friend also has a mill.to be different

It might be easier to buy a crashed SV Suzuki and swap the Vision tank and body panels.  Plus you'll end up with FI and more HP!  :o  :P  :D

Just kidding brother!  Good luck with the project and we'll be looking forward to progress reports.  ;)

Here is the thread on John Clemens Bike: http://ridersofvision.net/rovforum/index.php?topic=11572.0

Just read the first post.

Or maybe better yet for the conversion, do what John Clemmens did and fit the XZ engine into a different frame that has the characteristics you want.  He did his for road racing, what is the purpose for your conversion? 

If you just want a sproty V twin with a chain drive there are several to choose from, like the Honda Hawk and Suzuki SV among others.  Rick G likes his Suzuki VX800, I have a nice SV650 I will sell, and both would be much easier than doing the fabricating and fitting of 'other' parts.  Modern bikes are much less troublesome than older ones, but then maybe that is not an issue for you.  Motor on. ;)
