Oh, duh. Twin cams! You would think having had a Mercedes with an
M110 engine I'd have realized that. Nifty!
Still hard for me to get used to the idea of a straight-four small
enough to get your legs around the long way when located transverse in
a bike frame, though. The pistons must be the size of film cans.
OTOH, there is a guy near me who has a trike built on a Harley frame
with a Chevy 350 motor, and he is doing just fine (if a little
bowlegged).
