Here's a plan for the engine you remove from the bug...if you hadn't already sold it.

Hahaha. Yeah, ive considered it. Ive also considered making a trike but all my resources are going into the bug right now so anything i do will have to wait till the bug is finished.

I understand. I saw that bike at a car show yesterday and had to get a picture of it. It was like someone took a picture out of my head and built it...before I ever thought of it.

There was a company that used to make those bikes i believe in the 60's or 70's.

That's correct. I talked to the owner and he'd found it in someone's back yard with weeds growing around it. The VW engine is bolted to an adapter plate that looks like a VW transaxle bell housing adapted to the stock BMW transmission.

I know it's not a Busa, but....:

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

So i am about to order disk brake kits for the bug with blank rotors and have them drilled to a more standard pattern like 4x100mm. I REALLY like these rims and might get them.

It'll be interesting to see what you come up with on the VW-to-Busa adaptor. I've been measuring up the requirements to mate a GSXR engine to a VW Autostick trans - some additional mounts would need to be made, but it's small & light once the bellhousing is removed, and has 3 forward gears & reverse.

Got my parts in. Also scored a free IRS transaxle that was being changed out of a rail buggy because it kept popping out of 4th gear, so im going to use that to mock everything up, take measurements and make sure i dont have to modify the firewall for fitment, then its going to all go together and start the process of plumbing everything.
