Re: A Dachshund With 2 Engines

I bought a softail roller from that guy's shop for 75 bucks a long time ago. I was amazed at the amount of stuff that he'd done to Z50s. Really cool.

Re: A Dachshund With 2 Engines

Its cool an all but whats the point? still only as good as one engine with a bit more torque. maybe if he were to build a tranny to turn the 2 engines into 1

Linked gear shifts???
One missed gear change & things will get ugly.
Has he considered a tandem dual motor layout with a JACK SHAFT drive like Yamaha BW200 - BW350's?
