Sure. Don't forget the supercharger and the nitrous!
I would be the old, slow guy. Just let me know where you are going and I'll try to get there before you leave.

Why not convert it to an 1800, put on a fairing and some trunk space and call it a rebel wing. Don't forget the trailer hitch too.

As long as you're willing to break apart/reweld the frame, buy a new motor for it, get a new transmission/drivetrain for it... Yeah, should be a walk in the park!

Unless you're MacGyver.

Then it would just take a toothpick, some chewing gum and an old tin can!

NO
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
