Rare 1954 BMW R68; last of the plunger frame models; a super sport machine

The BMW R68 is a 600 cc sport version of earlier BMW motorcycles. It is considered to be one of the post war "super sports" machines. It is also the last of the plunger frame models. Approximately 1450 were produced between 1952-54 making it a rare BMW model. This is a recent frame up restoration by Ziggy of Classic Motorcycles.

So how does the plunger frame interact with the shaft drive? Are you familiar with shaft jacking? I want to put a shaft drive in a plunger frame chopper I am building but my uncle says the shaft will twist the wheel under power
