Jocalopse from Canada
Hello from the East Coast of Canada. Been thinking of building a diesel bike for about ten years now, it may actually finallybe possible no. I've got a couple of good donor bikes, 2 Honda Rebel 250s, both complete but with engine problems. I personally ride a 1982 GS1100E, but I don't want to mess with that. I can readily get my hands on everything needed to bolt together a bike usign a Yanmar clone, but it looks likem they might not be the best choice after all. Anyway, here I am, hello to everyone.

Welcome! This is the place to get inspiration

Wow, once again here looking at the possibility of building a diesel bike, looks like it's been a 20 year dream now. Never did build the rebel 250/diesel, life happened and I wound up selling any accumulated parts. Ho Hum
Currently riding a Yamaha V-Star 950, nice cruiser. Still dreaming of a diesel though, once again looking at acquiring parts for a build

I guess you could get inspiration from the latest rally reports, some of which are video based now:

Or the recent German Rally: https://youtu.be/iUIhMya7bzs
