How would you set up reverse ???

I would think the rest of it could be done with the usual headaches.

They are areasonably common conversion in the UK there is a company there that does either Yamaha R1 or hyabusa or turbo hyabusa engined minis. I think the problem with bike engine conversions is getting a reverse but there are ways around it ie electric engine for reverse etc...

http://www.zcars.org.uk/mini/mini-single.htm

There was also quite a bit on the 16vmini or something similar forum in the UK

Oops simultaneous posting reverse can also be done by a sort of second gearbox I think which would give you 5 reverses I guess :lol:

Maybe you could find one of those enormous touring type bikes some of which have a reverse AFAIK.

yeah initially i thought reverse would be the main problem...but have heard that getting a reverse gear for a bike engine isnt really that hard...

i dont wanna pay like 20,000 pounds for the conversion...if it were possible i'd wanna do alot of it myself...as long as i dont have to cut the body up much...i can weld...and could probably work something out in terms of a front subframe with some engineering help from a REAL engineer...does anyone know anybody in AU who's done or has any experience in doing a hayabusa conversion?

So you've seen the light then?

Before you go and get all excited about doing it, consider that you would have two chances in hell of getting a rear-wheel driven mini registered in Oz.

Can be done :wink:

You will need to comply with the all the new rules, as my new engineer has advised me.

perhaps yes perhaps no

but its definitely something to be considered...if i could do a conversion for around $15,000 i would do it for sure...

fwd one surely wouldnt require body chopping at all...the hayabusa engine would almost certainly fit in the engine bay of a mini...surely...
