And i haven’t even blacked out the frame yet. Going to head off from work early tomorrow and grab some steel tube and spray paint to mount the seat properly.

I’m sure you’ll fit two turbos or a 6 in line on/in it as well...

I do have a 4.0l Jag engine going spare ;)

A v-twin of some sort would be nice as well ;)

If Kawasaki can mass-produce 6 in line bikes you can recreate one you self, I’m sure. Do it.

This is really cool. I’ve seen Ducati seats used for some of these but love that you used the original. Please update after you sort the rear subframe etc.

Thanks man :) Ducati seats would look really cool, but as this is on a shoe-string budget i’m saving my money for important stuff like tyres. Anything that can get repurposed will ;)

I have always thought that 2 Triumph Triples sandwiched together would make a hell of an engine...

Did I just hear an amazing project starting in your head? DO IT!

I’ve wanted to do that in a Spit for a while now :) bolt them together and run a sodding great shaft through both (emptied) gearboxes to a flywheel on the back mounted to a standard car gearbox.

If i run out of projects any time soon i’ll do that ;)

I think Kawasaki used a longitudinal transmission midship, true Cizeta Moroder V16T style!

Ooh neat :) I’ve been looking for something like that for an off-road kart type thing, but again. Too many projects!
