Title: whizzer engine
Post by: Bruce on October 15, 2013, 03:20:44 PM

I'm thinking of using one of the newer whizzer engines on one of these... For a few reasons...its narrow and easy to fit...has a charging stator, pulleys to left side of bike making clutch and jackshaft choice easy. Exhaust faces front...easy to bump up in power..and with the simplex sheave would offer more options for gearing.  And it looks cool

I've seen those DW....I know a few places where the engine alone can be had for around $280 complete.... Won't need the rest of the kit anyway
