Thanks for the replies so far! The bike that is in the links was one I saw on you tube, so I knew it could be done in some form...still would really like a standard motorcyle gear box if I can swing it. I simply am not familiar with the gear boxes used on the big V-twins to know how much torque they...

TedV, Thank you very much for the reply! I am still learning about the various VW diesels that were available here in the US.

I imagine that is similar motor wise to what I am thinking of building...happened to see some his you tube videos, and knew that it could be done....which was why I am now trying to persue it. I had hoped that he documented his build on here, as I get more familiar with the layout ...

Hey All, I recently had the thought of putting a diesel engine in a motorcycle, did a search on you tube, and found some good stuff to watch. I also did a Google search, and found this site, which I'm guessing will be helpful for me in the future. I am in the earliest stages of even taking on this p...
