Fast Mach Z

Ok, you guys made me proud! You all voted for a Mach Z with serious power. No wimpy twins for you guys. This puts me back where we started. We need a new 1200cc triple with SDFI and 185hp. This would be the "final word" in high performance lake sledding. The absolute "king of the hill" in raw power! I would like the factory to make a "lake kit" for the trail/lake racer wannabe types like myself. I would like a relatively cheap spring kit (and shocks?) that drops the front 2.5 to 3.5 inches and the rear by 3 to 4 inches. This would lower the sled for those who want to run the lakes, and allow trail use at normal speeds. (ok, maybe slow for you radical speed demons) Also, a 1 to 1.25 inch track lug so it will have some serious "bite" on the trails and hardpack. It would handle so much better at speed which would be over 120mph on snow!!!! (hardpack) Well, that's my dream sled. It is just too expensive to drop the Mach Zs right now in ride height. Also, if the factory desinged the kit, the shocks in the kit would be designed for lower travel. As it is, I don't use but half of my suspension at best. Especially zipping across a lake at 115mph.
