> >>My goal is to have a hot cross country KR1 that can cruise 200
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Don't get hung up on the 200mph speed. The difference in time on a 500 mile cross country at 180 mph instead of 200 mph is only 15 minutes. How many 500 mile cross country trips will you make and what are you willing to invest in time and money to get there 15 minutes sooner? Leaving 15 minutes sooner would be a lot cheaper and easier to accomplish. Larry Flesner
