MV8 Posted Sunday at 07:21 PM Posted Sunday at 07:21 PM (edited) No issues John. Considering the location difference and lack of info, it is highly unlikely the seller is the builder/designer so I think they don't know exactly what they have under the bonnet. I'm confident it is an FJR1300. An easy way is to adapt the bike driveshaft to a typical small auto sized shaft of 2-2.5 inch tube with a machined bush and the bike output shaft is welded to that. The larger diameter is needed for the length and rpm range. There usually isn't much linear travel on the splines with a bike, so a two piece shaft with a support bearing and telescopic section would be good with a live axle. Not much issue with an irs and fixed location pinion. I have a lot of posts about bec engineering on locostusa. Edited Sunday at 07:28 PM by MV8

panamericano Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago @vovchandr is wrong. The body is wide, but the cockpit is actually quite tight. Only attempted to get into one F1 (1993 Ferrari) but, alas, I am a bit over 140 pounds. On an aside, I did get to spend a couple days with a rally equipped Renault R5 Turbo and each time I got in, I think it took about 20 minutes before I was really bottomed in the seat. The pros tend to be small. Hulkenberg is about as big as they come (170 lb.), and it actually cost him some career opportunities. 1
