motor has arrived and (barely) fits in the frame before any tweaking! (note, the orientation here is backwards-- I'd originally planned on driving the transmission on the right side of the bike through a modified clutchcover, though i'm now working on driving it on the left side through where the st...

hey guys, I've gotten my buddy Seb to send me a few pics he's taken of this project so far ... Until I get around to tweaking the images you may want to right click on each one and open these in a new window... I can't seem to find pics of the original GS frame, but seconds after finding a trashed S...

I would assume so, but I don't know anything about your foam filter (nor how much oil its been bathed in). What size engine did the foam filter come off of? That should give you an idea of how well it should flow. I, personally, will only be looking for automotive or truck air filters when I've got ...

As for the speed thing, one of my friends (who may be arguably insane) has been driving her max-30/40 mph scooter back and forth from galveston to houston to austin for the past couple of years and has managed to ...

yup, seems like it. Maybe when everyone has running bikes we can do a gulf coast dieselbike meet?

Hi all, Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking for a while and scheming about building all kinds of diesel bikes for a while but I've finally gotten off my ass and picked up an engine and found a (semi-) suitable tranny. Got an '80s GS450 missing a head and tons of other bits (but had a ...
