It will be tight to do it with Italian parts. A good crank will really swing it, the Taiwan cranks will not hold up for 60 mph runs.

Baka- I know the '99 Jogs had switched to the Taiwan cranks but did the Vertical Zuma switch over too?
not that I know of. i know that the horizontal motors are taiwan cranks.
Nothing like getting stroked!

Those horizontals are everywhere here. To much fabricating to get that motor bolted to the verts frame..
