Project started
December 2020,
See the CAD version here
I finished the CAD model of the Panhead engine (see rendering
above) except for the carb, so now the Panhead can go into the
frame for the first time! We modified the seat area of the frame
last time, so now I get to see how it all looks together. |
Quite happy with the looks, but now the situation is that
I have a transmission with a long mainshaft, mounted 9 mm offset
to the left, in combination with a Panhead engine which would
normally be used in combination with a short transmission mainshaft.
Hmmm. |



I installed the clutch and already it seems to stick out
quite far. I machined a temporary spacer from Delrin to line
up the front and rear pulley. |


Well, this won't do. I decided to replace the transmission
mainshaft for the older style which is 19 mm shorter, so the
whole belt will be 19 mm closer to the centerline of the frame.
I am going to switch the transmission housing as well, all the
other parts of the tranny will be re-used.
