Tdub, I share your overwhelming feeling of joy!

Or something along those lines. I think I understand how much work goes into making a machine perform better than it should, so congrats! Carpe Diem.

I just saw the results.  Robbie finished 9th.   That was out of a field of better than 40 entries.  It just keeps getting better and better.  Someday a podium.

Congratulations  to you, Tdub, Robbie, Babe, Memphis Shades and the whole team.

We re all pulling for you.  Keep on tuning.

What is the rear end off on the Vision race bike? Does it still run a monoshock? can't really see in the pics. I have this Vision (pun) of using one of my spares bikes with the blown motor and putting another Yamaha V twin in it. Prob an XV750/920. I'd need to convert the rear end however and do the chain drive thing.  There are prob better motors to use but the XV's are at least still Yamaha's and seem fairly rugged - apart from the starter gears.

Why in the world would you want to swap an XZ for an XV??? IMO that's a downgrade. Tdub
