Has anyone here done this? I have a big twin 4 speed and wouldlike to put it behind a 45" flattie in a servi car frame. I know im going to have to flip the rear and a custom tranny plate will have to be made. Im curious if anyone has done this. Maybe some pics.

A Norton or Triumph trans, as well as a BT 4 speed, is 1:1 in high, same as the 45.

Run a british gear box, lighter and much less expensive, plus has been done on here (JJ) 3-4 times.

I was gonna run the big twin trans cuz i have it already. But ill look around for a brit trans I guess. I still need to finish the motor and do some work in the frame.

This ain't for everyones taste but my 45 went into an aftermarket bigtwin hardtail frame, using late 70's HD 4 speed, spaced the engine just over 1.5" with some brackets/shims I made. Hell it's all I could afford at the time

Purists beware and if ya'll don't like it listen to "Killin in the name of" by Rage!! I've changed to good grade 8 bolts since the pics.

Bleedin'knucks, used a BDL 1.5" drive, old 3 stud HD clutch...what I had on hand when I decided to build the bike. It's a work in progress but hoping to ride it this summer.

Thats a cool tank. I put a sporty tank on my servicar just to see what it looked like, i wasnt feeling it. I think im going to run a wassell and tuck an oil tank under the seat area. I have a set of stock tanks with the oil tank integrated but i dont think im going to run them. I dont think theyll look good with a skinny springer.
