Re: À cool mini v twin Harley-Davidson Knucklehead
haven't decided yet what I'm going to do with it but I would like to build something special. a motorcycle would be complicated and difficult to use so I'm looking for a conversion a prototype vehicle invention that uses a motorcycle engine ??? I could build a cycle car I've seen a boat with vtwin motorcycle engine a boat could be a good choice I could cool the engine with water. Heat that's a problem this engine must stay as cold as possible I am open to any suggestions if you have an idea ??

How about a Harley Davidson "Servi-car"? (solves the balance issue) There's a 1:12 scale bank that was/is available. What scale is the engine? (It's awesome by the way.. )
Maybe disguise a tiny fan as the fuel tank to pull heat off the top of the engine. You could put another fan and air-duct in the rear compartment.

Re: À cool mini v twin Harley-Davidson Knucklehead
To tell the truth I have already thought about this idea but it remains a big challenge the engine is quite big but still small with few rc motorcycle models finding parts is impossible so I should make them but the tires remain a problem I think it's my biggest challenge if I could find tires of the right size this idea would be perfect I think maybe a car with a motorcycle engine but seems difficult to build for the model to be pretty and look Good The idea is good, it would be light. And that's where the idea came to me to build a boat although less spectacular and not practical but with a good chance of success a boat could transport the weight of the engine without problem and would be less complicated to build using this engine has good number of challenges firstly it turns in the opposite direction of a real engine other challenges is having an acest for starting would be important because it does not have a starter other than the rope with a handle But this would be easy using a strap and a starter I think that first I have to test the engineroddie wrote:How about a Harley Davidson "Servi-car"?
