HI. Located your site today and I am fascinated with the idea we can build these. I will take some time to read all the old posts and come up to speed but Im...
Keith, I've got a Suzuki GS850 that I converted and barely had enough room. Smallest bike I've seen converted is Honda XR650 and Suzuki GS550. Of course, these...
Heh Cris; This is good info for me. I think I will lay back a bit more and get the best deal on the bigest frame I can. I was on another site last night and...
Keith, If you use a small framed bike, you'd better have all the shop equipment for frame mods. In my case, all I had to do was cut and remove most of the...
Heh Cris: Good news, I have a lead on a 750 honda size frame and yes, I do have tools to work with, here on the farm. I tend to do what I can myself so I have...
Keith, Sounds like you have all the right stuff. The 750 frame will give you plenty of room (with less modification) for a 10hp engine and Comet torque ...
Keith, My build is using a Honda 750 frame and 10 HP clone. I'd be happy to swap ideas and experience if interested. You can get a glimpse of my initial...

Hello everyone, I'm a new member hailing from Atlanta, GA, USA. I'm purchasing a 436cc Greaves diesel Enfield (4 speed) and eagerly awaiting its arrival. I...
I checked out the vanclone pages..very cool looking. Ill keep an eye on progress, thanks Ron Im pretty excited about all this but my wife put a major damper on...
Erik, IMHO, a side car will slow you down. These engines barely make enough power to get out of their own way. Your engine will be closer in power to a Enfield...
Keith, In your design, give yourself space for a BIG battery. This will help with starting, and keeping the lights burning at all times when driving. The stock...
If you look at http://www.dieselbike.net/privateconversionsI-Z.htm and scroll down you will see an 850 diesel bike with a sidecar. In my opinion you will find...
Erik, I have some experience with a Diesel Powered Sidecar. http://tinyurl.com/2w8ztp http://tinyurl.com/337ssd http://tinyurl.com/2uzyal I do think you would...
Thanks for your responses guys. I'm going with the sidecar. How will I know what it's like any other way? The bike ships in 2 weeks, which means it'll...
Erik, I looked at MotorEarth's website, but they didn't have any info on importing diesel bikes. I'd like to hear how it all goes for you. Thanks, Cris ... ...
If you don't have any sidecar experience I recommend that you download that sidecar riding manual and read it carefully. To start with, put a lot of weight in...
Thanks for the tips Andy. I downloaded the book a couple months ago, and will make sure to have it read before hooking the sidecar up. I anticipate refusing...
Would like to learn more about your bike and see more pics. I may redesign my bike to make it lighter. Thanks. Also want to use some of Changjawa's bike....

... Hello, I'm interested in diesel bikes, but probably can't make one, but may try to get one converted, once I have more cash. I'm thinking right now that I...

I ride a scooter around town and to work because it's a fun ride, cheap on fuel and I can park it for free. Currently ride a 2002 Bajaj 4-stroke 145cc. Has...
Hi BradDo you have any idea how many MPG / Km's p litre you are getting out of your petrol 145 scotter?Just woundering. I don't know what a Bajaj isRg,s...
About 80-90 miles per gallon. It has a reliable top speed of about 55 mph, if the conditions are right it can go a bit over 60 mph. It's a later model Bajaj...
Nice looking scoot. I've got a titled Yamaha (Jazz?) scooter frame that i've though about putting a small diesel engine in. However, since the engine is the...
I remember that, but I haven't seen it on the web for awhile. I did see a cushman frame that looked kind of interesting, but it isn't a step- through. ...
