inline honda four/indian four replica

Just curious, where is the Serial Number on those motors ?
I hope it isn't on the transmission.[S

Oh yes it is on the tranny gotta keep it I guess and mayby tack it on the block if I ever get that far..

THAT sucks.

I'm a little paranoid about dealing with Homeland Security.

Well I dont think Ill be goin south unless I get invited to a biker buildoff and I dont think that will happen anytime soon.besides the frame has numbers too And anyways they will be too busy trying to figger out what it is to care...once I get it running I want to pull the motor and just place it sidways in there mocked up for fun with pipes one one side and carbs on the other think the exhaust side will look cool but the carb side will still have the tranny attached....good to photoshop mayby....Den

photoshop attempt

Here is my first attempt at photoshop...please be gentle with critisism I am sensitive.

 

[wannaby]

Guess it would need a different header configeration but its a start practice practice..this is gonna be fun...

Im thinking when I get mine running I am going to pull the motor and try to sqeeze it back into the frame with the tranny still on... chop the headers haywire it in there for a mockup and mayby try and take a video of it running from the header side of course the carb side will look stupid but its all just in fun right..

 

[Unkl Ian]

A tape measure should give you an idea if that is possible.

This looks like a 4 banger stuck on a bmw trans eastern european style ...those guys are innovative...

 

[Unkl Ian]

Looks like an automotive engine. [cl [

 

[wannaby]

Yep looks like it.. still they got the right idea ...and it looks like it runs.Been alittle slow lately on my project got it running but not too good but seems to run strong and no blue smoke seems a shame to cut it up...been workin on fixing up the old gastank for now and enjoying the summer relaxing at the lake....

 

[Unkl Ian]

seems a shame to cut it up...

think about this - take a goldwing - remove stock motor - install inline 4 (honda 750, etc.) in the stock location on the goldwing frame - hook the goldwing driveshaft to the 750 trans shaft where the stock front sprocket goes - instant inline 4 ie indian

[SYa... but then ya still got the ugly trans siting on the one side dont really think it would look to good. Im thinkin more streamlined trans on the rear of the motor kind of like we have been discussing.
Photoshop would be nice but im not to good at it.....

 

[Unkl Ian]

The idea is to put the cylinders, vertical, in the middle.
Similar to the old bikes.

Having a big trans hanging off one side wouldn't be ideal.

 

[wannaby]

Nother eastern european typ tranny wish I knew what it was.

 

[Unkl Ian]

I don't recognize the motor either. [S
