looks like a beast. What are the dimensions? Much larger then the HF?

Man, that engine has a lot of options for you.

Nice looking motor, seems set up well for inside a frame. I'd like to see it with the tank and housings off of it. Exhaust out one side, just right.

That Kawi looks like a great motor to build around.

And I really like that link Dan.....you're a good man, thanks! Yeah the dimensions are really close to that of the HF. The Kawi is a tad narrower and a tad taller.....and prolly weighs twice as much as the HF. Started it up on the shop floor last night....it fired right up and runs like a champ, it's hardly been used. This thing is going to make a really fun build, I can hardly wait....

Scotto,
Actually it sounds like it might fit better than a HF. On my current build it isn't the height so much as the width of the motor that seems 'off' a bit. So that's another industrial motor, like the HS and HF. Will you use the same tranny as your last build, or go with something else? Should have plenty of power...
SB

Its narrower! Wholly cow dats cool! I musta misread. Thought it was wider. Think you found a winner Scotto. Can use that muffler too if ya wanted.
I have also been looking at Briggs and Stratton's Vanguard series. Good as my witness, I am gonna build one with all American components. Bike, power plant.

Sure it will cost hundreds of dollars more. Cost millions of lives and change the world forever. But did we give up when the Nazis bombed Pearl Harbor!?

Very nice motor, ought to be interesting to see what develops

Will be using an EZM on this one as well SB. This has a 3/4" PTO shaft that has to be cut down like the HF engine. It's not much narrower Dan, but it won't matter on this particular build and guaranty an ineresting one at that...it involves this bike here:

Cheers!
