    Laydown r engine in new frame

    Gday everyone long time since ive been on here.thought id share a few pics of my latest project well alot of you im sure have read the thread on this engine in the 70 frame.ive had abit of time on my hands lately so i decided to change the engine into a suspended frame.as yeah like alot of us new it would just be to much in the 70 frame but we did have alot of fun with it more of a novelty then anything lol.so now hopefully with abit of suspension im going to be able to do more than 5 laps without my arms feelin like they are goin to fall off lol and not rip the throttle on and trying to hang on as hard.i know that sounds exagerated but really thats what it was like to ride in the 70 frame insane lol.oh by the way the colour scheme is not going to be like it is in these photos im going to make it red blue and gold just like a mini r cheers in tha last photo the plastis an seat are only sitting on there thats why it looks twisted (oh by the way there is another laydown engine in progress ill post that up as soon as i get this one done an its not an r engine thats all im saying lol)
    various pics of engine and sizeing things up







    this is the bike i made it from




















    i hope its ok to post photos this way.

    Now I know why Mad Max was film in Australia!

    It was too easy for the prop crew to get what they needed (cars, bikes, etc...), they just had the local go into the shed and get their homemade rides!

    Cool! and crazy!

    That looks awesome. I hope you have some good body armor to wear when you ride it. I saw the video you have on youtube with that engine in the rigid frame.

    "Can't", never could do nothing



    There's nothing like the sound of screaming 2strokes and the smell of race gas in the air
