I love these types of posts. Shows the ingenuity, creativity and working skills people have. Whether or not it is practical is another story with all the good motorcycle motors out there. :D

Love it, also! However, from a logic and cost-effective standpoint, NOTHING we do to engines on this forum makes any sense. We do it because we love it, because we can and because occasionally, someone pays us to do it.

Did you use a fork and blade connecting rod arrangement on your creation?

This goes back to the early days of motorcycles. Manufacturers found it easiest to add a second cylinder to their existing single and the many v-twins were produced.

nope ,machined the crank webs and reduced the big end width of the original con rods and used bearings with a shorter cage.So the main bearings distances were maintained.The tricky part was welding warpage recovery on the original crank case,so it saved cost of making a new one.Inspired by the work of millyard and drysdale.

What Jack Vines said. Ingenuity and "can-do" are priceless.
