Somebody care to explain this to me?
could you really even run this as an external trans. setup?
What would you use for a primary setup?
anyone ever heard of it being done?

A lot of old fuel bike cases have had the transmission portion of the case removed.

Some bikers, being mukanikal, have been putting their sticky little fingers on this set up since the 50's.

back in the day it was popular to do this especially in racing because of the "four cam" case, no other reason. duel engine set ups in fuel bikes brought it on also. The four cam design still lives fuel bikes.and street,.... http://www.delkron-mfg.com/products/...ankcasesRacing |
