I know some other peeps scrapped the idea of using that engine because the reverse is not really usable in a buggy, I don't know if this applies to all model years?
Drawings look good, looking forward to seeing your progress.
Newer Goldwings have reverse. 1500 and 1800 motors......I think they use the starter that enguages a reverse gear.?.? Most mini rails aren't going to weigh much more than the 800 lbs. bike. With the lower gearing I think the newer motors with the reverse gear will be sufficient to back it up.
