As far as MC buggys My first build was an LT-2 with a 03 R-1 motor and a modified type 1 bug trans as a F-N-R box. The thing is a blast to drive but I wanted something more like our 10 car.The VW trans works great.Beats the heck out of the chain, sprocket and centerboard hub set up we first used.The only issue I had was it jumped into reverse and broke the inherently weak VW reverse gear. I fixed the prob. by fabricating a lock on the shifter so it can't do that again. The drive shaft: Up here they run an dirt oval class called legends cars.They use the Yamaha FJ1250 air cool bike engines. they have a U-joint system that fit's right onto the output shaft of the R-1 (The R-1 is a liquid version of the older FJ) you can then cut out the center of a comparable VW clutch plate and weld it to the U-joint and presto. Modifying the trans is fairly easy. cut away the bell housing and turn it into a side shifter. Jamar makes a bolt on kit for this or you can do it the way we did by making a support block and going through the side of the trans and tying into the 2nd/reverse gear stack. easy as pie.As far as more pictures I took very few but I'll see if I can dig some up.By the way The R-1 buggy is for sale. I'm sorry guys, I'm not really into the MC powered stuff any longer.The R-1 was a lot of fun and I drove a Busa powered LT-2 but the Nitro will scare the hell out of you. And like I say " If your toys don't scare you what's the point.And this is the guys website...http://iminitro.com/Pages/Nitro_L_Specs.html
It wasn't mine, I was quoting his build. Copied from his build. Sorry I'll go stand in corner.
