What did you have to modify on the sportster? do you have an email I can use to get in touch?

[@JohnPetsche]

I designed and fabricated a custom drivetrain with a diesel engine and CVT transmission. Check altfuelspeed.blogspot.com for the build details.

[@nunya9555]

There are few specific details on that site. What engine did you go with? I would like to build a diesel bike with a vtwin to use on the road. Mostly lower speed in town riding. I love the sound of your bike! Good job on the build

This particular engine was never officially imported into the US, but I found it by accident on eBay a few years ago. It's a Kipor KD2V86F 836cc DI engine with a 1" diameter output shaft.

@@McGeiver229. Thanks for the reply and info. I will keep looking. Maybe a much less powerful Hatz would suit my needs better. I may go the dual sport route. Would love a small vtwin for that too, though
