I want to do that with a legends car. Make it street legal and drive the crap out of it!

How did you convert from the chain drive to the rear axle? And how is the clutch handling aal the wieght of the car? Please let me know and show the undercarriage if possible. Very cool by the way!!!! Gets my creative juices flowing...

Kool!

I've always thought bike powered cars would be really kool but typically they have no reverse. I did a Goog search a while back & there were some kool companies that used Ford trannies etc for that. Ck this link...

MC powered cars are cool. I have a VFR 750 powered mini-buggy and it hauls. You can add a reverse box if you are willing to shell out the dough (they aren't cheap). JeffCo and RPM both make them.

for a reverse you can use a starter motor of a car, to drive another chain and sprocket, on the drive axle.
just have to set it up so that when you "hit" the button it drives you backwards, it would give you as many reverse gears as forwards though

the other way is to use a pre-engage starter and the "ring gear" off a car and set it up. by mounting it to the "drive" sprocket, so you get the same affect.

"hit" the electric button to engage the starter, and you go backwards

I think the big Harleys did reverse on the sidecars that way in later years.

Use a big ole' Honda Gold Wing engine, they have reverse and shaft drive that would hook up to a mini stock quick change rear.
