My god that is gorgeous! Such a nice build. Someone took a lot of time and planning to make that so clean. Any more pics and info on that?

that thing prolly has mass amounts of torque for a bike..

and i bet it gets awesome mileage too.

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

I wonder what this thing is like to ride.  I bet it's quite heavy!  I love the connecting rods that were used for what looks like a trailer hitch.

IM IN LOVE :)

You could de-tune it and get like 100mpg easy while still having more torque than most bigger bikes out there. Twin motors? pfft, I4's baby lol

I have literally been dreaming about this bike in my sleep! I wonder what he uses for a charging system. Seems to have a tiny alternator-like thing.

Looks like a small permanenet magnet alternator, probably off a Kubota tractor.

what the hell for plug is in the transmission where the axle flange would normally attach, has a vw emblem on it even.

well its the aluminum cap for the shift selector..

long ago i heard of some one making bikes with carbed gass bunny engines... i really have to wonder if this is a converted one... due to the plug on the tranny and tranny case looking like it was never completly machined for a axel on that side..

i want to know how the shift selector works.. if diff locked.. or what not..

still think its neet.. needs to add a turbo and giles pump to it so it can throw some soot..

The diff must be welded up to then........
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

I intend to make an attempt to trace the owner through the registration number to see if we can get more information.  :)
I think the owner ought to have documented the construction. Photos, drawings and so on.

Netherlands are not that far from Sweden and they may have similar ownership records that we have here.

Or maybe there is someone here from the Netherlands, who can look at this?
