Default Homebrew motorcycle question. - 03-14-2009 , 12:39 AM






How hard do you guys think it would be to make a custom motorcycle or trike
Boss Hoss style using a Chrysler FWD drivetrain? I envisioned 2
possibilities: 1. A shaft drive motorcycle using a 3.3 and an A604/41TE or
2. A trike using a 3.3 and a 42LE.

I don't know how hard it would be to either remove/weld the differential
from a 41TE to drive a single shaft or make a custom transfer gear cover
with the shaft attached there.

Would it be road-legal?
