If one was to build a 1910 single replica, but using a more modern engine from the F-head engines, what else with a tighter budget would fit a long stroke, air cooled ~200cc? HF and Honda engines look too modern, and lawn-mower-ish.
You guys have me stuck. Ever since I saw @DieselTech whith his belt drive, and the pic posted below, for some odd reason, i want to build a hand-made belt drive something with pedals.
Anyone reading this, not a "pipe dream" as I certainly can make it reality with the equipment at my disposal, but at the same time, not going to be putting "Runge Cars" kind of time into it.
I keep thinking about making a 1:.75 model of a Harley, and think it might be fun. I have a Hossfeld #2 bender (multiple dies), RogueFab bender (few dies), Miller 250 SW, Hobart Handler 190, Delta surface grinding too maker, Bridgeport knee mill, Logan Lathe, two Evolution cold saws, and a metal folder (non-finger brake).
So, back to the initial question, would y'all be willing to help me find a vintage-looking engine to start this off?
Thanks....
