transverse engine?
I figured I'd get some opinions from this great crowd-I've got another Frankenstein idea!!!! I'm leaning towards setting the Honda VFR700 engine I just bought in sideways. It's such a LONG,TALL engine that the swingarm without a second tranny for reverse would be well over 3' long.
I have a differential & axle from a Honda Big Red 3-wheeler. I pulled it yesterday and disassembled it to see what all the components consisted of. The differential gets the drivetrain turned 90 degrees again and the axle would end up being a jackshaft for my sprockets and 2nd tranny.
Anyone ever try doing something similar or have a better suggestion?
I'm going to build another completely new buggy for this (2 seater)
Do you need some pics to get a better idea?
