Steve on the beemer I think you have selected direct drive? Your motor I recall is physically fairly big. If you were to go to a pancake motor I think there maybe enough room to offset the motor so you could use a sprocket on the shafts and change sprocket sizes to get the 6:1 final ratio.
I was thinking of doing a BMW since I ride an R1100RT back before I found the VF500, I was thinking retaining the transmission and putting the pancake motor on the top of the trans and feeding the trans input shaft via chain, retaining the trans-shaft, etc. What is the ratio on the drive?
