Cool ..left a comment what motor/trans combo would he use? has he any info on other builds....

 

[wannaby]

this is kind of a cool bmw motor..

 

[Unkl Ian]

The BMW looks water cooled.

 

[wannaby]

Even a watercooled motor wouldnt be so bad mayby using a small motorcycle rad even disgizing it to look vintage with some copper or something.

6 cyl Indian.

 

[wannaby]

Almost there just a little less bling and one more cylinder.

 

[wannaby]

Check this out he used a wisconcen V4 but wisconcen did make an inline aircooled 4 not shure what he did for a tranny but looks fairly simple..

Cut down honda cb 750 on ebay kind of cool .....something like this without the turbo just carbs.thats what Im thinken....[ddev

 

[Unkl Ian]

The 8 cyl looks like 2 CB Honda 4 cyl motors coupled together.
A guy in England does a bunch of stuff like that, building Frankenbikes.
The case halves might be welded together, not sure.


The thing on the end of the rocker cover is a oil pump.

 

[wannaby]

Ya pretty cool eh some guys have some real talent out there.... to bad I couldnt hang with them and have some rub off on me....[dr

 

[wannaby]

mmmmm....wonder what ever happened to this .....could use some refining ...kind of butt ugly....hopfully polaris mayby comes up with something like this insted of going after the vtwin market yet again now that they have bought the rights to indian.
