OK now I need to find the drawings for that Saturn car. after that demo it seems almost too easy to manually control that GM CVT trans. I'd mate it to a Kubota V2203 diesel engine and run set the RPM to it's sweet spot. then adjust the transmision to regulate the road speed.

I have a plan for a Kubota V2203 poweed bike with a short Jeep T90 style transmisstion, and automotive read diff used as both a stressed frame member and it's tubes for rear swing arm piviots. would be nice to have a full suspensin on a bike this large.

I've been searching grabcad and CNCzone for drawings, other then further refining questions for Mr. Google, and Mrs Wiki. Where else to look for currently availble drawings?

cool to hear about the lathe, I'd like to find or make a manual adjusted driven pully that will work with Commet style belts and drive pully (AKA rear pully) so I can make use of common replacement wear parts. I'd like to see if it could be cable or lever actuated with a fail safe, in that if operat...

what about a regular clutch between the CVT driven pully and the engine?

who makes a semi manual CVT for a custom build? I like the idea of being able to run the engine at a fixed speed and use the CVT to govern the bikes speed.

yeah I know it will sound like a lawn mower droning away as I ride, I don't care what it sounds like.

What about a way to manually force the fly weights back while the engine is running, kinda like slipping the clutch on a standard gearbox.

Stuart, Thank you for the tip about the K series bikes. what year range were/are they? BMW is not my strong point for nugets of knowledge. as for the drawings situation yeah this seems to be a common theame with Volkswagen and Jeeps too. :( especially when trying to mix and match parts. on a differe...

I'm starting with nothing so, I'm looking to put togeather a collection of drawings for both stock gasser and diesel bell patterns. during this quest I'm interested to see how the V-twin Yanmar type diesel will fit in a BMW R100 frame, or other simalar type shaft driven bike.
