So, I'm putting together the second diesel motorcycle. Here is what is done so far. http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/7239/1000455lu4.jpg Normal Yanclone power, Ariel transmission, scooter shock assy. for the seatpost, Honda 360 front end, repro Harley WL rear fender, lots of DOM tubing.

Based on what you've said, a belt and idler clutch would probably be fine for the Ariel box. Shoot, if I ran twin pulleys I could have a splitter, making it an 8 speed. The shortcom...

On my MkI, the CVT transmission worked, just not very well. The available range of ratios were limited. Belt slippage was an issue in wet weather, and belt life suffered when I added a heat-catching cover to the rig. OK, for the MkII, I've procured a 4 speed Ariel transmission, but no clutch. Over t...
