ha, HA, HAAA! These projects take long enough than to spend more time to debate the motor. They're a little more sympathetic to swopping on the modifications page but not much... HP/weight - 130/800 - how can anyone honestly say they're much more than boat anchors??? Torque is sufficient. Quiet, smooth running, etc. but HP/wt?
I guess we need a fix for the L8 to push the ponies up to modern standards, but that's why they dumped this design, the crankenstein is tooooo long for it's diam. It has to get bigger in diam. to handle more power.
