Has anyone made this mod yet?

Just curious if anyone has made this mod yet? I'm considering it, but might wait to do it to a new Vaquero ??? ???

It would probably cause a tank slapper!

I think my ole Nomad is fast enough without that mod. Thanks anyway though.

Can I get a couple small ones and install them in my saddle bags. That way they're hidden and I can surprise somebody when they feel like racing!

Could be wrong but I don't think 50 lbs of thrust would get the Nomad out of the driveway.

I believe it's the same type of rocket propulsion as found on the V-1 that Germany used. I would use the words dumb ass, but hey, YMMV.
