plus they are heavy and expensive, if you started with a Sportster, this might be a good idea though. I haven't seen an adaptation of a engine/trans that > was clean. I recall someone lopping off the cylinder of a jap engine > and feeding the chain down to the crank, this is what I was assuming. something like replacing the crank with a sprocket on a straight shaft. but it might make more sense to find a crankcase with enough room to chop the whole front off and mount the motor where the crank was, thus eliminating a shaft and chain drive. if there is room. or using a Guzzi or BMW with separate tranny IIRC, that seems much easier. . Any other ideas out there? hmm lots of heavy stuff like transfer cases....
