Not a bad looking bike... And not a bad price to start at... If I had more funds I'd be tempted

Getting it legal will be no problem if you have a v5 and receipts for the engine. Probably get a heavy frame such as a Harley chop and modify it rather than build a frame from scratch. At least that way you won't need an MSVA inspection and have to wait until you have a complete bike. If it has alr...

There is frame builder near me that is up for the challenge, busy looking at sizes and weights and power to make sure the frame fits and can handle the power comfortably. xj900 diversion has the shaft left, goldwing on the right ( Thanks Gilburton ), so will probably be one of these 2 rear wheels......

The rotation is quite important, I don't really fancy going everywhere backwards...

Or I'll end up with a front wheel drive, rear wheel steer bike...

That's a lovely bike Gilburton... Is it your creation? What is it?

Thanks for the tip

Better have that masters degree in automotive electronics at the ready... :D I am expecting more gray hairs or less hair at the end of it... I'm not expecting it to go straight forward (would be nice, but no build ever goes to plan)... After reading a few build stories on here I think I have half a...

Yeah, frame with v5 is a must

The gearbox is depending on the engine I end up using.

I was thinking of belt/chain to the rear wheel as it's easier to change the gearing

I've seen a shaft to chain converter on here that should help with the alignment

I never thought that far down the line yet...

Thanks, not after a pocket rocket, just. Nice steady 80mph and able to do hills.

That's the main reason for the chop (and i like them)

If you look at the triump rocket III that's got a massive engine.

Thanks Stuart, I was considering a polo bluemotion, but I've seen a lovely smart chopper... http://www.emc-europeanmotorcyclecompany.eu I'll have a look at the Kunitz triple gearhead1951 At the moment very much just in the planning/designing/ head scratching stage... Will start the build when the we...

After a bit of googling and looking on eBay and gumtree, I think I have a plan... Custom chopper frame Polo bluemotion 1.2tdi engine Ultima 6speed gearbox Is it within the realm of possibilities? Anybody doing the same thing... Nothing is bought/made yet, so open to suggestions to make my life easie...

Hi all, I made a few bikes before, but now I feel it's time to make a diesel one... I'll probably ask plenty of questions... I have no real plans yet and it will be slow build (due to money reasons)... I want to be able to do 80mph on what will be a custom cruiser frame, any suggestions or tips are ...
