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.
George

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.
