Im planning on breaking the bike down, modify the motor and drive train, and possibly some frame mods ie: extended swingarm, lowering and maybe some stretching as well. Im planning on spending up to in the area of 3 grand on the motor alone, I'll see about the frame after the motor is fininshed. Ive looked into some of the suggestions. I like the cylindar and piston kits to increase the engine size. I would assume there are some internal mods required so I dont send the crank and various othe parts through the bottom of the motor. Ive contemplated turning it into a drag bike (got local drag strip here) but I want to keep it as a street bike. Realisticaly 140-150 mph, no way highway speeds suit me fine. Get a Hyabusa maybe, but what I want is to meet a hyabusa and give it a run for its money. I prefer the 80s bikes and this one will stick with me for quite some time yet. Ive thought about a single sided swingarm but only if it provides enhanced stability/performance I dont want to make changes for purley asthetic reasons. A machine should look like a machine, you know the type- dont touch or loose a hand. I also thought about widening the back tire for some stability although I know that'll affect turning. This is gonna be a project thats gonna take some time and cost some money.
