dgshannon Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Ever since I first saw the Husaberg Horizontal 4-stroke engine <LINK>, I wondered what it would look like in a trials bike chassis. So, I finally sat down with Photoshop, and made it happen. All in all, I think it could make for an interesting bike!

dgshannon Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Looks just like your's does'nt it? Except it's fuel injected, and you could probably adjust the valves on this one, without dropping the engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Now that is a really interesting conceptual set-up you have there. Is that scaled 1:1? Although, the drive is on the opposite side to this image so you have been a bit sneaky there Taken from the site 70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 But didn't someone (mick Andrews?) have a yamaha with a TT/XT 500cc 4t single in it for a toy ? Talk about torque ! But alas, the husi engine alone w/engine management components is probly worth more than a new beta 4t . marvelous bit of enginering though , I wonder how long the motors will last in the real world . My imagination only goes to the limits of putting a injected xr400 engine in a fantic frame .... but the drive is on the wrong side , so I'd have to come up with a 200 rear wheel and hub , run a cable operated rear brake , and find some gears to work in the tranny ..... And the list goes on , If only I was really wealthy and bored ... Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgshannon Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Now that is a really interesting conceptual set-up you have there. Is that scaled 1:1? Only by eye, in relation to wheel size, etc. Although, the drive is on the opposite side to this image so you have been a bit sneaky there Wondered if someone was going to pickup on that! Spent a while "sneaking" that in. Do you think 450cc for a trials bike could be a little too much though Probably so! But even then, somebody on here would be wanting the 500cc kit, I'm sure!

ron Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Darrell, You obviously have too much time on your hands... lol.. nice work though.. rode this weekend with the 300 kit ..absolutely awsome ride.. the 250 is excellent and the 300 is just that touch for the bigger quicker approaching obstacles.. enjoy, jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgshannon Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 ...and the Rev4 has the chain drive the other side. Hmmmmm ! In hindsight, I should have started with a Rev-4T image, and I would not have had to doctor in the countershaft sprocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin j Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Fascinating layout. The link you had said that for 09 the drive is reversed to 'conventional', I assume meaning on the left side. So,you have the choice of left or right, whatever you want to build on ! and the choice of 450 or 565 engines. Yikes, the old GG200 is too much for me...... Carb area could get ugly. The beauty of CAD, just scale it down until it fits.... At TTC Youth Nat's, maybe 5 years back, was a guy riding the loop with a Husaberg 4 stroke engine in a hand made frame of 1 inch square 4140 tubing. Looked rough, but it sure sounded unique. The only 4 stroke in the woods then. k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian r Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi Kevin, I remember that bike, got lots of looks! Darrell, big problem I see is a very small flywheel. Cool idea, frame could be even lower, WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
