If you require a "period correct" motor and trans an old Morris or Crosley would be cool

If he required a period correct motor....

I'm working part time in this place
Today I worked on an Aprilia Shiver (fly by wire bike), an English 750 Bonnie
I'll have a look for a period motor
The pop quiz is, apart from the Guzzi and the Triumph, what are the other three bikes

250cc    Try a 650 to 1000, they include a trans, turn it sideways, weld a u-joint on a cut down sprocket and you are ready to bolt to a rearend.  Get the wiring harness with the bike and it should almost be ready to rock.

jeez ....use watchagot.......for development...then keep an eye out for the goods.....

250 is what's sitting there........plenty of crashed bigguns to be had....


I ain't use no Pommy donk, besides the 250'll have more grunt than the Morry anyhow...


A Guzzi would be just the go....somethin' about the symetry and the 'box that would seem just right

[Moxnix]

Vincent, BSA, and I don't see the third bike w/ me world weary peepers.

[grumm441]

Jeez
I thought that would've taken longer
Good work with spotting the Vincent
Third bike is tricky because you can see less of it than the Vincent
Behind the Guzzi
Just a curve of a seat and a grabrail

Only low life's do that kind of stuff, it happens a lot here in the states. Hope they catch them and lock them up for a long time.

Trouble around here is they get off pretty easy.

I've got a 948 sitting in the basement that's just screaming to be installed in such a vehicle.

In fact, I bought the block off of e-Bay, and they shipped it to me via US mail. 

If I break it down, I think two boxes will ship the whole kit to Oz.

Let's see . . . Why YES!  I've still got your addy . . .

Do you want to relieve the block and go with a big valve head, or shall I just ship the stocker?

Ooooh - did some digging - came up with a DGV manifold and an adapter that should fit a Stromberg 97.  This could turn into quite the little cornucopia grab-bag.

How many Lucas distributors should I package up for you?

Wow , sounds like it's been a long time between hard rubbish nights round your way.......

Actually, Kate will be glad to get her grandmother's antique cedar hope chest back.

Good of you to take it off my hands, mate.

Hey Doc,  I have the perfect powerplant for your tank creation, It's spent the last 15 yrs as a coffee table, its period correct, Australian and sounds GREAT.
It's being "looked after" for a friend, but I'm sure he won't mind if it fires up in a different state for a while as a loaner.

A man of your talents should have no trouble hooking it up to a small auto trans.
