Thought this was cool.

Until the comment about the gearbox alteration broke my budget.

Ha!

How about this a V8 334Hp 2000cc Motorcycle from Down Under https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koPQnNZdco0.

Now THAT is AWESOME Beau!!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR THE LINK AND THE PICS!!!!!

 

Kinda got me on the $$'s for gearbox alterations,, seems like triked Vennies have been around for a long time and wonder if gearbox alteration is needed to accomplish triking:think:..

 

Regardless,, gotta admire that outfit for what it is = AMAZING!!!

On triked Ventures they just flip the rear end upside down to get correct rotation. It is the equivalent of always driving in reverse as far as the loading on the gear teeth. But a trike is not that heavy compared to the car the rear end came out of so there is not a wear issue. Now in that T bucket, you might not want to run the rear end backwards.

 

But 7 grand to change the bikes output direction, I think I would have used a simple in/out box to reverse the rotation.

I have seen this rig at a car show in Sandusky, MI a few years back. It's a sweet build. Sounds good too.
