Motorcycle Powered Car Gets A New Engine (From Another Motorcycle) 

As it should be. Think the off the shelf is too expensive. End up spending more on a diy solution that doesnt work proprelly to finally just buy ots.

😆😉

I'm the president of the fail DIY parts club, you are free to join.

works every GD time....

Ha I do the same exact thing

F for their wallet. Instead of single-time spending now it has a black hole

My thoughts exactly. Holy shit indeed. That leg was properly properly fucked.

It was brutal. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks and it took me a year to walk normally. Always wear your helmet.

@@SuperfastMatt I see where it hit the windshield too. Yikes.

@@SuperfastMatt "along with my left femur" Yeah... way to down play that Matt, it's broken at both the top and bottom of the femur, and you didn't mention the damage that teenager did to your poor tibia and fibula. Jeez, glad you recovered!

@@SuperfastMatt is that where all the project money came from :p

Yeah, but they have lots of safety stuff so the idiot driver can usually walk away from the wreck and devastation they cause.

@@mikealbrecht3990 their victims not so much.

I mean the mustang is still a cool car. Maybe just to mainstream

A friend used a CBX motor to build a chopper.

@@craigwiess1656 his time is limited, he should take shelter immediately

@@dylanyates6331 was back in 2008, frame was custom built rigid. He sold the frame and using the motor in a trike project. I don't have a CBX but have chopped several CB750 SOHC. A 70 is currently under going should be over 9ft long and building 72 bobber with and old velorex sidecar.

Is that because it's very valuable? Legitimately asking, since using an older engine type would kind of make sense what with the S600 also being an old car.

@@vtr0104 there's a whole cult following with those bikes and purists hate when people mess with them. They'd rather have them original.

I prefer the hand clutch. Easier to use, and unique.

@@SuperfastMatt something something your mocha double-skim cappu-latte-ccino. (fair enough. :D it definitely is unique and i can see it being easier to use)

@@SuperfastMatt The clutch being "grabby" is your clutch basket; It's common on all motorcycles that use these style clutches. If you take it apart and look at all of those aluminum fingers of the clutch basket, they will wear little grooves in them along the edge, where the clutch plates slot into and engage--- So it's like your plates get stuck in little ruts and don't want to slide along that edge anymore, because it's so rough. You can sometimes sand those fingers down smooth and it will work fine again-- but You have to remove the same amount of material on each one so that all of your fingers still engage at the same time.. Might just be smarter buying a new clutch basket, given the load that you're putting on it. (or just google "clutch basket wear" and you see pics of it right away)

@@calholli there also little plates that fit in the grooves, effectively making those parts consumables no clue wht theyre called though

Yeah but he's a man of taste.

ah yes, the honda h2 how could he forget

I want to put one in a spitfire, that would probably turn out simular to this car with a goldwing engine.

​@@calholli I was commenting on his clutch lever. And the fact he said he had to install it horizontally to avoid bleeding problems. I was stating there are master cylinders made to work in the vertical orientation. Now the problem is solved if he's using a clutch *cable* but I thought it was worth mentioning in case someone wants to build their own S600 with a hydraulic clutch

So that CBR 1000 engine he has, makes more horsepower than the blackbird. It actually makes more horsepower than the first generation Hayabusa.

@@TravisFabel I imagine the Blackbird engine would have more torque down low, being from a heavier Sports Tourer. Might be nicer to drive when off the track.

"You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means" is the appropriate response to that word. But yeah, Honda should straight up donate the engine, or some Honda dealer. It would be excellent advertisement.

For the record, I do NOT want a stolen Honda engine. I do want a donated Honda engine.

@@SuperfastMatt I'm sure your lawyer appreciates the clarification. The "falling off the back of the truck" comment definitely sounded more "5-finger" to me than donated but I get and love your dry humor so it didn't phase me. I've been saying to anyone that will sit still for 2 mins and knows me (a small audience to be sure) that your channel humor is like if my best friend Tom and I merged together (plus we were WAY more motivated). You'd like Tom. Tom is funny. Tom is smart. Tom taught me D&D in the god damn 80s and healed me of my love for bad 80s pop music.

There's a guy who put it in a triumph spitfire. It is significantly taller than the original 1500 and he had to make it poke through his bonnet.

@@GiulioImparato that's alright SFM has the whole ready to go...

You gotta go for a V-Twin engine next time (if) you blow this engine up, It would sound like a Morgan 3 wheeler on steroids and probably transform the character of the car for the better

Triumph Rocket 2300 or 2500 would've been cool.

Close but... VFR1200. Best of both worlds. 🙃

I was thinking about a VFR1200, but I guess the shaft drive would make it very complicated. There is a video on here about a Honda N600 which has a VFR800fi engine, that is alot of fun!

Nice simple solution. Light weight also
