Will it be as straightforward as it sounds with the gearbox though in order to change it from chain drive? I ask because all the kit type cars & the Smart Car that was converted all still use chain drive & if it were that easy I would have thought they would have changed to a prop. BTW, remember you're gonna have to buy the £600-odd (IIRC) quaife reverse gear too
Kit cars run prop shafts straight off the gearbox,can't be chain driven as the engine is mounted the opposite way round to what it is in the bike.

This is 1 my mate built,MK Indy based on sierra,MK supply the flange to
fit shortened sierra propshaft to gearbox.
Oh right! I know for definite the Radicals are chain driven & am fairly sure the Westfields are too so assumed all the others were
