COOL Build. ...I have no idea. I'm guessing this engine's crank is internally balanced considering its a bike engine. Unless that alternator acted as a balancer. Guess if it's internally balanced shouldnt be a problem down the "long stretch"of that pulley sticking on the end of it. With pressure applied to the end of it. Besides that little question poping up in my head.(which is probaly where it should have stayed,lol) This thing is awesome.
This thing is cool, we took a ride in it saturday. just the sound of it makes you giggle like a school girl. Its very stable , no body roll and will spin around on a dime. It has more gears than an 18 wheeler, whats funny is hearing him change gears when he's in reverse. This will be something fun to watch at the URE race. Im sure the tires are going to see alot of air time.
That samurai is bad. I followed the build from the Mud Devils forum and have watched this thing come together into something way out of the box. Definately like to see it in person if your ever in Mt. City, TN wheeling. It makes me happy to here that thing run in that video even during this rough economical times. Maybe Obamo needs to give me a samurai for my stimulus package. He talked a good game but I'm still broke, and he's living in a big white house.
