Newer Urals have 2wd but not all of the models have that option. This is a older 80s USSR era Ural no sidecar drive and no brake. I can do a walk around. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from this

Wait, Urals (I've seen) have a drive shaft to the outer wheel. Did you cobble that together too?​ We need a video of the walk-around. It all adds up to a great fun project. (Sure beats fixing the old lawn tractor, like I am now.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Goo

I'm not sure how practical hacking the transmission off of the engine would be considering they share the oil sump. -Kyle On Thu, Jul 6, 2017 at 8:24 AM, Kurt Nolte wrote: > Welcome! I have a very slow going similar project with a 650. > > I would recommend that you find a Honda service manual

Welcome! I have a very slow going similar project with a 650. I would recommend that you find a Honda service manual for the bike. It will have all the gear ratios you're asking for, as well as wiring diagrams, suspension information, and other useful info. What batteries are you planning to use?

Hi everyone, I bought my first motorbike the other day, a 750s with a partially disassembled (and probably broken?) motor. I am a complete novice. I don't have a bike license yet, I've never even sat on a motorbike before. Engines are black magic to me except the barest basics. For example, I
