Well, on a similar note, I just received the crate with my 6 hp diesel engine. Now I need to set about finding an appropriate motorcycle to convert. I like the Enfield Bullet, but its hard finding a donor bike in the States thats not a restored vintage bike (e.g. $$$) I also need to determine the transmission- either belt torque converter (same as snowmobile) or an existing bike with a non-unit trans (Enfield or early BSA)
The British bikes started changing to unit-construction in the early 60s, so early also Triumph, Norton, AJS, Matchless, Ariel and so on, and Norton Commandos had separate gearboxes much later than that, to late-70s or later. If you can find a British biker list it might not cost too much for you to import an old one from the Land of Ukay, or maybe from India.
I may wind up with an older Honda or Kawasaki, around 350cc. I will keep you posted.
Kawasaki single-pot maybe. Good luck - take photographs!
