Some pics of the engine to be ...........can't find the engine number amoungst the fur and rust ? :shock: http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/cockmaster_2008/DSC_0177_zps5ee1ffa6.jpg http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/cockmaster_2008/DSC_0175_zps491b40f6.jpg http://i449.photobucket.com/al...

Thanks ........ how does the tension thingy tool work then or is that down with the engine is hot so the belt wont snack under expansion ?!

Yes its early one ........ like i said though my biggest issue at present is the new timing belt (obviosly the engine will need one can the set up be done after i've fitted the motor to the GL frame) to get tension right ? Second issue is the gear linkage set up for my foot gearshift ? (disregard th...

Yeah the Haynes manual was a nightmare it was like the Da Vinci Code

Is the thermostat like in the cx500 bikes ....housing like that easy job, all i do know is i've go to do the timing belt but need a alignment tool and tensioner gauge yer whatsit ???? to make sure the tension is right !?!

Can post to all uk ! for £15

I'll do some later .......think your right though .. then its just a matter of sorting charging system, oil lights ect like on a simple petrol engine :D but only with slight brain ache lol My next issue is the gearbox and gear change set up (obviously not wanting reverse) because of the connecting s...

I have a 106 1.4D non turbo eninge and i've looked at the manual and am a little confused :shock: Its a 1997 engine and i'm identifying the components of it, a friend of mine said i don't need or it hasn't the need for a ECU ?? but theres plenty of sensors plugs and wires coming from the injector ec...

Hi Mouse need some advice of you if you don't mind ....i'm using a 1.4D Peugeot engine and if possible want to pick your brains on the running gear set and exhaust set up ?

Cheers

Been away for a bit ....now back and nearly got all my bits and will start biuld soon !

question still remains though.. what transmission you thinking of to spin the driveshaft.

was gonna do the same with my engine gearbox but..........................but like a fool i forgot i had a big twin HD tranny lying in the workshop.

Decided not to go the CVT way and wondered if anyone know how to do this (see pic) and would anyone be up for the work ? First is attaching the new diff box and the issue of a spindle ??

Most interesting !

Merry xmas !

looks like its straight from the clutch plate to the shaft

FYI on the reference to a 'pillow block bearing' in early post. In general a pillow block type bearing is typically a support bearing for a shaft and isn't normally designed for a thrust application. If needed you would want a 'Thrust bearing' specifically designed to withstand pressures in directi...

I've built chops and bobbers so i'm not alien to builds thats why i fact find first and build later, after i've had the design in my head ....i usually get all i need first so i know what and where and how much space i need.

but thanks .....but i'd rather have the engine inline with the bike.

Does the 1.4 diesel saxo have a low enough idle and top end to give the bike power and sensible top end ?? with a gear box? This engine runs smoothly between 750 and 4750 rpm But pay extra attention to the cooling system,TUD3's tend to run hot and blow the head gasket Will be running a gl1000 radia...

Your sketch is fine except for one point. The drive unit cvt uses a tapered adapter to bolt to the flywheel. if you went for a french microcar cvt #http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MICROCAR-MC1-MC2-VIRGO-VARIATOR-DRIVE-PULLEY-/251199685360?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a7cab02f0 you c...

Ok here goes below is a diagram of what i think was suggested and looks good, found CVT bits to buy new from image below (Good or Not?), also would i need a specific pillow bearing to take the force of the drive ?????

Do it like the Track Bike. Do a flywheel to the rear engine orientation. Then a CVT to a front to rear jackshaft. Secondary pulley on one side of that shaft and a joint ( Universal joint, CV joint, ?? ) on the other side that the Goldwing driveline connects to. I kind of understand :shock: dont sup...

Not really worried about that can get that re worked done it before, only thing is connecting said engine to final drive.

Yes locked off ......blank off the side not in use ! thought that it could be a winner ! see below This motor is small from a dhiatsu thingy ma jig ? Then check your gear ratios. The output shaft from the diff is at wheel rpm the bike bevel box will add a further 3:1 to that which will result in a ...

I assume he means locked , not blanked off . If you lock (weld up the spider gears)the speed stays the same for both axles regardless of which one has the load ! You then blank off the axle hole you aint gonna use !! Yes locked off ......blank off the side not in use ! thought that it could be a wi...

2001 Harley Sportster

I have a Harley sporty rolling chassis and want to put a 1.4 Natrul ass diesel engine in it, obviously transverse and want to block off one side of the diff and run a shaft to a goldwing (70s version) rear wheel and hub. When i hunt for the engine and look for the componants that should be on there ...

Hi there from Liecester UK ....been thinking about a Deisel bike and got a rolling chassis to do it with ......... but the engines the trick !
