What have you done to the airbox to make it fit upside down? I thought the ZX10 was a right pain to get the airbox to stay on in its normal configuration!

hi

really like and am impressed with the fabricated chain diff, i have been thinking about how to pull this off for a while, do you think it would be possible to weld another sprocket on so you could run two chain driven bike engines onto the same diff, have you seen this anywhere else, i think some of the autograssers do this but have never seen any pics

all the best with the build

cheers

just pulled the rubbers out and put them back in upsidedown, it will be going back on as standard but need to mod the bottom first for clearance.

No idea about running two engines to one diff, i think you would have issues with the spacing. A quick think and all i can come up with is 2 diffs in line, one on each engine and a shaft between to connect them together.

Confused but excited. - 5/1/08 at 09:51 PM
