hi all,

just wondering would a cbr 1000 engine be the same to fit as an R1? because this is a lot cheaper option:)

please tell me thoughts and if its worth it or not, also can it be front wheel drive?

 

thanks Joe

AFAIK the mounts are different but power output etc is the same :)

sweet what about puting the drive to the shafts how would tis be done mate same little gear box thingy?

You have a few options, it depends where the engine will be positioned

 

Front engine, front wheel drive, fitting a chain via a diff(trike style)

Front engine, rear wheel drive( weld a shortened seirra prop to the chain sprocket)

 

Rear engine  ( again running a trike style diff)

okay mate thanks if i was to go ahead id go front wheel drive to keep the corner handling!
