        I believe that is the one that Nate said fits with a couple of swipes of a fiile. IIRC it is said it hits the plate that rides against the cam chain even more squarely than the Venture ones do according to Ivan.

            Yeah I think Ivan and I compared pics and I think the vision one did hit more squarely, but his takes no modifications.
