welcome to the forum

see you on the saturday peeps,sounds like a good un.

bmw boxer frames are good to use,plenty of room in them.

hows aboot this for a engine,it,s a v16 cummins,in a boiler room where ive been workin.

looking and sounding great m8.

tiz a nice machine that,see what you meen with the starter motor though.

big vw engine would make a nice lump for a bike. There was an impressive one at Hamm this year, I have a pic somewhere I'll have to dig out. The engine was turned backwards and used the car transmission with shaft drive. The frame was particularly impressive for how the engine was squeezed into it....

FYI. I got a super cheap Peugeot engine off ebay a while ago and after lugging it home realised just how much heavier it was than my VW lump of the same capacity so took it straight to the nearest breakers and left it with them ans was glad they didn't try and charge me. ah hah,i remember seeing on...

aye up mouse,cheerz for the info,i was looking at a post on a peugeout 1900 engine in a kwak frame,mmmmmmmmmmmmmm,interesting,maybe the way to go as i am planning to use it everyday,have you got any you tube bits of the vw??,see ya on rbz m8.

Anyway, isn't the biggest Yanmar the L100 or something? If you really need to stay single cylinder Yanmar I guess go with that. 9-10hp.

aye thats what i was thinking,hopefully a decent turn of speed??
