Trying to come up with a "slicker" looking zoomie. We'll see what Ken comes up with.  Are you going with Bill to the E-Town points race next week?

Zoomies look the best, but collectors will give you better power.
Our zoomies are aimed at the top of the slicks. Action-reaction theory.

That's not bad at all. Now you'll just need to work at getting the F/R weight correct. Is that an aluminum head/cast iron motor?
