I am grateful to Treven for sending me details of his build. I'll add it to the website soon.
Treven says "I have wanted a diesel bike for about 20 years. I finally built it and got it on the road today. I bought the frame and trans adapter from Dave Emmons along with lots of helpful tips and ideas. The rest came from ebay or my back yard. The head light is WWII US Navy IHC parts truck I have. The forks and front wheel are BMW. The front shocks are the old rear shocks from my KZ550 I cut up. It has 1 to 1 high gear in the trans and 3.5 in the final giving me about 68 MPH at 3,000 RPM and it will do it with ease. Thanks for your website for inspiration! I'm in Craig Vetter's fuel economy race on Friday so I still have some long nights to finish all the wiring and some details."

Re: Treven Bakers Hatz bike build
Yeah Trevin (and Dave for the parts). Interesting HDI in the article. Would love for use who have watched and seemed to have been fogged in my smoke and mirror... to be proven wrong.
