[solo0879]

Got an 82 oddy as mentioned/pictured in my profile. Thinkin bout puttin my 04 r1 motor in it for giggles. Havin troubles tryin to figure out how to change feom the hand control steering wheel to a regular wheel with pedals. The wheels splined at the shaft conection. Any ideas...?

It's gonna be a lot easier if you can weld. Can you?

Why switch from hand controls? You can have custom cables made a lot cheaper than buying the parts for the swap. Easier to control also. This is a pretty wild idea with no suspension. Not sure how you'd like it. Will be all top end with no suspension. That a good recipe to end up on your lid.

Welcome. Is there any reason why you would like to change the controls?

I have access to a welder. My childhood buddy has one. I drive a manual and would rather use my feet for the clutch/break/throttle. I waned a 600 instad but i met a guy who had the r1for cheaper. I paid 700 for everything from the radiator to the midpipe on the exhaust. Got harness, ecu, carb rack with f/i, etc. Itll be aean machine i know, but itll be fun when finished.
