Not my thing, but cool nonetheless.

Currently up for sale on eBay - search on "914 motor"

Rode my customer's trike (with DTM Type 4)
really difficult NOT to do wheelies- engine
stays below 275F (cold)at the head. It does not accelerate- it lunges from one point to
another. A tad too testy for me.

What I want to know is that a modified stock shroud or is it a custom made shroud? It looks very cool and might look great for my buggy.

Yes! And like where to get one or more?

That shroud does look groovy, doesn't it? Probably a bit difficult to do a T4>T3 conversion with it since there's no provision for that boot...

But, it does look nifty. I e-mailed the seller last night about the shroud, but no response yet. I'll letcha guys know if he responds...

Take care,
Shad

Hello-

Well, I got a reply from him. He just said that yes, it is custom just like most stuff on there. No details... <sigh>

Take care,
Shad

That is pretty cool!
But what about a Type IV powered Harley looking motorcycle!

Wow! that harley type thing is mental! That must have taken a while to build. Wonder what it sounds like with those pipes?

The shroud on the trike seems very familiar, might have seen something like it on a buggy in France years ago. If not it was in a magazine, looks a bit pro. being a one-off.

It sounds great! Not sure how he worked out the shifting but seemed to not have a problem at Bristol Dragway/Thunder Valley Bug Blast this year.
