buddy of mine has a 1980s honda motorcycle that he is giving me. According to his knowledge its not chain or belt driven. He said it has a shaft.it is a 2 wheel bike. Looks kind of like a cruiser bike. Can this motoe be changed to be chain driven. Would like to build a buggy with it. And what else can be used on a kart from a motorcycle. Thank you

It can not be changed to chain easily. The internal mechanics of the gearing on the trans and swingarm is all correlating to each other.

Would it be expensive or even worth destroy this motorcycle. I dont want to destroy it and endup not using it. When someone else could advantage from it.

A member from kiwi land called banjo did change a shaft drive to chain

But if u wanna put it in a buggy then just addapt it to a car diff

It'll be better than a chain drive type

That would be a good idea. But if I did that I wouldn't have a way to put reverse on the buggy.

Ask your buddy if you can sell it. Clean it up and use the money for a more suitable engine.

That is probably a better plan

I like the bike, if it were me it would be considered a fix and ride bike.

That's a nice bike... a bit TLC and it's a great bike;
destroying it to have a buggy would be a shame!

I would fix and ride, or fix and sell.
Either way probably a better candidate out there.

How did u intend to put reverse in it with a chain

As said before, a bike like that is too good to just tear apart for the motor. Fix it, polish it, make it look nice then sell it for a couple of grand or more. Major profit than just asking for a motor.

Probably a FNR box, although I'm not sure where he could find one that would take the power and rpm.

 

[gsegovia]

I was thinking a reverse box, but I haven't done much research on it. Am try to go get the bike this weekend. It might not be a bad idea to fix it and sell it. Then I can build the buggy with that money. Thanks

his is the buggy I had in mind. But two seater. Do yall think it can handle a motorcycle engine.

 

[fowler]

Yes u can put that engine in that buggy

As for a FNR box

U can get an rpm box
But for the price of it
Unless u wanna get serious in motor sports I'd just put up without it

U would be better adding a reverse motor to the drive shaft
