Wannaby...we need to talk......

I'm not far from you...Northwestern Alberta.

I've thought about doing up an in line four cylinder longitudinally mounted engine in a motorcycle for some time now. It shouldn't be that difficult to do. I believe you may be committed enough to actually see something like this getting done....That commitment thing is always the biggest problem. Two big problems are the oiling and the clutch/transmission stuff. Charging, ignition and starting are rudimentary.

Have you looked into using the clutches and transmissions from Ural and Dnepr motorcycles? Lots on ebay...and reasonable prices. I think there is a Ural dealership in B.C.? Seems like these transmissions and clutches would be the ideal candidate's for adapting to the back end of an I-four. Could use a drive-shaft right off the tranny or one of the 90 degree bevel drives if chain rear sprocket.
Even got reverse....

I should let you aware..I am thinking of going a step farther with the longitude four cylinder engine thing.....and adding four more cylinders!!!

I got to let you know....I don't just do the talk. I need a winter project!!!

Hi 23tbucket sorry to dissapoint ya but right now have sort of given up on this project . acctually sold off everything with a bunch of other bike parts and trying to concentrate on another project that I have had sitting for a lot of years and just when I get started on that I threw my back out so just recuperating slowly from the looks of your projects you are more likely to get something like this done than me. If I ever do get back to this project I think this guys got the right idea exept for mayby a honda inline for a motor.Good luck on yours.D
