Yea really. I might turn it 90 degrees but I don't know till I get it how it will fit.

so the pistons are longitudinally aligned with the rider? interesting idea...

Yeah- fitment is really gonna be a matter of trial and error in this case.

I will probally do that if the trans fits behind it nice.

would you extend the frame if you needed to?

i think the frame would be better if extended out about 6"

It almost looks like im going to have to, I have angle iron to do that but I don't wanna lol. ill get my opposed, put trans in or set it in, and then look at how nice the seating placement is.

i say leave the seat where it is and extend the back so your not over the wheels

I look like a clown on it lol, I might lower the seat more depending on the chain placement, my knees seemed to be bent so to say

if it was extended the weigh might be distributed more evenly

True, short wheelbases arnt goos for much. I guess I have another thing to add on the t do list.

maybe instead of six inches three or for would wwith k just as well

True. Might help, trying to keep it mini but go fast.

If you extend it, you're not running a mini. Wheelie bars would take care of that problem as well - and keep its original shape.

you could use wide go kart tires. the wide slicks the racing ones use

A longer wheelbase wont help at speed. The wheelie bar wouldn't help

That's probally the plan.

I don't think you need any thing of that sort. The guy arild365 or something(I think he made this forum) put a honda 125 or something in his mini mower. No wheely bars or frame mods. He has a few videos of him ripping around on it.
