45deg. offset twin crankshaft

Post by lancejack »

hello everyone. I have been thinking about making a built-up steel 45deg. twin crankshaft, altering existing cams and electronic ignition...Such a setup would alleviate a lot of the vertical vibes. I can think of one possible drawback to this, Has anyone seen, used or built one ???

Any thoughts on this would be gratefully received...

Regards to all.

Not much use I suppose but.
Seen it done with a Triumph 500, it ran well and sounded like a V twin but other than that dont know
a lot about it.
