    Hiya I am still on the lookout for an engine for my new trike project
    Either The Goldwing 6 cyl GL1500 or the BMWK1200 (1200cc).
    I need the complete engine/gearbox/black box/ etc. etc...
    have tried partfinder and loads of breakers, I thought I had found one
    before xmas but just before dispatch the breakers told me it was the BMW
    1100 not the 1200 (fair bit of difference on bhp according to official
    figures).

    anyway I am getting pretty desperate for an engine, as these things don't
    seem to appear
    so if anyone hears of one could they give me a shout.

    just in case anyone is interested
    the specs will be as follows
    KTM600 USD forks
    Suzuki VL1500 front wheel
    Slab Yokes
    GL1500 or BMWK1200 engine
    Sierra axle
    Huge 7Gallon Fatbobs - these things are massive
    Centerline warrior 15 x 12 wheels with 365 tyres (if I can afford them at
    the end)
    similar frame style to this trike

    I already have a reliant trike (bit too slow)

    it is my version of a diet
    Fat front end
    Fat Tanks
    Fat wheels
    Maybe it will slim me down a bit??????
