Ok, I'll add my two cents' worth... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, it's great to hear of someone else ready to hit the road! However, as a kit car or a...
If you source all the brake hardware from a single vehicle/model, the proportioning valve should come with it. Do any (OEM) master cylinders have the PV built...
Hi Diego, Are you asking about engine mounts or engine location? I am going through similar thoughts at the moment about engine location. It seems that the...
Hi, Rob! I was asking about the mounting systems. Where's the Locost builder's site you mentioned? Using a bike engine does present certain "opportunities"...
Hi, Diego. I think Rob is referring to the FJR1300 Sport-Tourer, which has about 145hp and has a shaft that exits out the left side. So, this would allow the...

Thanks, Iain, for the info and the link! I was wondering about some kind of damper between the driveshaft and the engine. Any USA sources? Might save the...
Diego, The others beat me to the answers..... locostbuilders.co.uk has a wealth of info on bike-engined-cars I've been watching R1 motor kits go for as little...
Indeed a problem.... I know you can flip the whole rear axle around to cure this. It isn't good for the diff as the gears are driving against the coasting...
Hi Diego , sorry but I cant help with US sources as I'm in Aussie :o) But I do think it is necessary though Uk guys say that take of is particularrly clunky...
I've just fitted wind wings to my CMC and they reduced cockpit turbulance significantly although I still can't keep a cap on my head above 40 miles an hour. I...
Dennis, You should try Brooklands screens, I can drive over 60 mph and my cap stays put. Esko ... From: "dennisortenburger" <dennisortenburger@...> To:...
Depending on how the turbulance is (much will be swirling back in a vortex created from the straight windshield and abrupt drop at the back of the car), a...
Hi, Iain! No worries on the bike front -- I have the whole bike, whether I need it or not. Bought it a couple of years ago, before I even new of Ron Champion...

Gents, Met a guy a couple of weeks ago with wind wings on his Birkin. I'll have to ask him -- may be available from Birkin? Screen in roll bar -- maybe a...
Diego, Actually, I have two of such caps. A fleece lined leather and a cotton. My wife won't ride with me it I wear either one. Neither will my sons. Dennis ...
