Hybrid

[Ian]

I dont know if anyone has ever seen this bike? It looks quite "normal " in some respects...but look closer and you will see an engine transplant !

Liking that!!

Thats nicely done!

I've seen pics of an XBR engine in an AJS (Matchless?) rolling chassis before.

Very subtle Ian and looks the part. 

However, this is less subtle and was taken in 2005, I haven't seen the bike or constructer since 2007! 

Big Suzuki single in BSA frame with forks from? Quick, as was the rider, handled very well and with a power to weight ratio probably better than the original motor!  Nice down the back roads, up here.

My regards, Bill

It's got to be better than a tweaked C15 engine! And it actually looks quite - well, cobby would be the term used at one time.

Unfortunately the "street fighter" tailpiece totally ruins it

Obviously no one has seen Dave Keeling DR BSA!
Now that is a beauty!

[timbo]

Yes exactly. Its a peach  I will PM him for a pic.

Hi all, a bit late on the reply, been away on jollies for a few weeks.
DR800 main frame, GS550 swing arm, GS1000 forks, DR750 engine, BSA Firebird tank, Starfire sidepanels and a mix of Suzuki parts to finish.
Dave.

ive got a tweaked 15 engine, its currently running at about 175cc with an oversize triumph 500 twin piston in it and goes like merry hell, revs like a jap two stroke and hoists the front wheel. however, im under no illusion that its anything but a hand grenade with the pin out, but its great fun whilst it lasts.......

i think thats nice, but i cant help but think that it would look better with a pair of spoked wheels.

corrected, i somehow cant edit my old post, but it cut the c off c15 and restricted it to 175cc, lol.

or it could be my fat fingers.
