Hi im kinda new to all this but i need some help im having problems finding out a way of fitting a hayabusa engine and getting the drive from the engine to back axel also most bike engines are chain drive to rear wheel so how do get the drive to prop. if anyone has done this and has pics or anything that would be great

all you need is a prop adptor from some one like MK, take off the sprocket fit the prop, not the best pic but heres one i did earlier...........

Do you know if they have a web site.
other thing is how do you use the gearbox do u make up a link.
sorry i make myself sound really stupid.

Best thing you can do is post on here for a builder local to you, go see em and have a good look around the car, anyone on here will welcome you and talk your ears off, where you at ?

Cheers mate

Engine and gearbox all together in the bike. The sprocket adaptor which replaces the sprocket is on the output of the gearbox so just connect prop to this and the other end to the diff.

My pic is of a 2003 R1 with adaptor fitted but without the prop.

I have built a couple of busa engined cars,so if you need any more help just give me a shout. Most people struggle with the loom on the busa as it needs a few resistors soldering in before the motor will fire up.

Cheers mate do i need all the loom from the bike and then splice the two looms together if using escort loom?? and do you know of a place where i can get the adaptor for the prop???

all the major maunfacturers make sprocket adapters. Make sure you get one from a reputable company, props can kill... an unluck chap on here had a sprocket failure that was nasty but fortunately not fatal, turned out to be a very shoddily made one.

search for MK, GTS, Luego, MNR, among many others.

ps best to get the full loom, and chop it down after viewing the loom diagram.

Is it best to fit the engine first and then get a prop built that fits perfectly? Or is it better fitting the engine once you have a prop?

Measure up then have one made to fill the gap.

Ta!
