Re: WelderBoss's Diesel bike

Well, if that's a Cummins 4BT, and I assume that it is, it cranks out a whopping 90 to 110 hp depending on which exact one it is and about 250-265 ft/lbs of torque. No way in heaven or hell is it going to put out over 500 ft/lbs off idle without some serious mods. My 12 valve, which is the same engi...

Re: Transverse V8

There must be a gear driven primary under that big cover on the flywheel side. Nice engineering. Or, it could be a reverse rotation motor. (aka boat engine) That was my first thought, but two problems. 1) Why??? and 2) it uses a stock appearing water pump which will not work in reverse. I'm not a b...

Re: Transverse V8

I'd like to know how the purple bike works. The engine is in the frame backwards, that is, the engine turns clockwise at the crank pulley. This would cause the wheel to turn the wrong way. If you look at all the other sidewinders, the flywheel is always on the left side. Look at EJ potter's bikes or...

I'm not sure where the Neptune's Net pic came from. I took the photo. I musta posted it on the .com. The yellow bike belongs to Barry, the middle one is Bob's and the 502 partially hidden is Rich's. My bike didn't make it into the shot
