Kevin and I had thought about doing this about 6 months ago. I guess we were a little late with our idea. Check out the gallery for the Shredder F80

Looks like he started designing a locost from front to back, and after the front suspension said feck it.

Those are the newer designed, Oval Muth Signal Mirrors (http://www.kwmuth.com/products/kits/220-0224.htm) on that machine.

Bob that is pretty sharp. It certianly is much lower and lighter than the Shredder. But it is still powered by a Harley engine. I would have to ditch the harley engine and go with a Ducati or something different.

I have a busa motor and most of the other parts to put one together. I want to start on it when the 7 is sorted out.

6 liters vs 1.3 liters. What size rear tires and type of rear tires are you going to use?

Bob, the Boss is using a P225/70R15. Definitely not enough tire. Boss is more of a statement than a performance bike. Still, I'd like to see a 100-140 race :)
For now, I'm going to stick with P305/35R18 (yes, two of them :lol: ), since that's the size on my vette. When the time comes to get specific wheels for the Rotus, I'll probably go down to 17", or maybe even 16" rims. I do have enough room on the inside to go to 335's in the back. I will stick with R compound tires. I can't see myself spending 2 grand on slicks that will last one season and can't be used on the road. I will go with Toyo RA1's, or R888s if my sizes come out.
BTW, I saw an article somewhere that said the Boss does the quarter in 10.4 seconds. I might be able to give that a run.
Busa is solidly in the 9's, so you'll have to deal with that :D

I never heard of a Boss Hoss before so I did a search and found this on their website. I just don't know what to say... ;)

I rode a buddy of mines a while back, and one of the projects on my to do list is building a v8 chopper. They are cruisers, not generally racers. Though, one that won rats hole a few years back was pushing 850 hp. I imagine if you could get it stick, it would fly. Few things sould like a lumpy cammed v8.

Oh dear, this string is getting silly!
I've heard of Bike Engined Cars before but Car Engined Bikes ... Really!
It's just wrong, very wrong! :d

:iagree: But Jay Leno has a jet engined powered motorcycle (jetcycle) if you want raw power that is the way to go.

I should think that from a purely technical point of view the electric bike would be faster. ... but equally silly!

I guess the center tunnel can be the exhaust. You think you have footwell heat problems now... :)

Here's another version of the 3 wheeler. I didn't get any info along with it, just the drawings.http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1104717952_3 wheel.jpg
