well i think you should get on it and let us know....

 

X 2...:rofl3::rofl3::rofl3:

 

But can you make the Harley engine quit making that 'to the dump to the dump to the dump' sound?

 

cause no one wants to carry more oil with them into the dunes:shhh:

 

LOL I am not thinking of the HD as a good canidate... I just used it to illastrate the concept... There have to be good v2 or v4 engines out there without trannies cast into the engine case.I havent done any research yet. I just wanted to start a conversation and see where it goes...

 

Besides air cooled Rear mount engine not such a good idea.

 

The V-Rod Harley is water cooled...:shhh:

 

harleys dont leak they are marking their territory

 

V-Max motor!

 

Isnt that a V4 Yamaha? Does it have a seperate tranny like a Harley?

 

some guy on the rhino forums started on a project using a vtwin motor, looks cool, someone should try it

 

Here's a pic of what Harley was workin on ............ Must of dumped the project as the web site is no longer active .. ..

Dave

 

Found a 2nd pic ...........

 

is it sold individually or does it come as a whole set of matchbox cars??

 

There are several Rhinos that have V-Twins in them......un-godly torque compared to the single cylinder from factory or twin cylinder RZRs that fire both @ same time.....LBR

 

What motor? HD or something else?

 

Else.....CanAms....retain 4x4, high/low range, and reverse.....about 2.3 times the RWHP in stock form and monsterious torque.....LBR

 

OK so a Rotax 990cc v twin. 139hp at the crank. AKA Can Am or Aprillia.
Where do you find these used? I didnt see any on Ebay or on Google.

 

The 990 isn't used...the 800 is used from outlanders or renegades......LBR

 

wonder if the arctic cat prowler 1000 would fit...it looks to be fairly powerfull

 

Harley would be good on the dunes, To help keep the dust down!!!!

 

Just to throw it out there... The 70hp 850 Polaris wouldnt be a near drop in would it?

 

looks like it hit a wall dont it ? i have a yamaha rx 1 snowmobile im thinking about trying to fit into my rzr i think it could be done might need to make the frame a little longer inline 4 cyl. 1000 cc motor its 150 hp stock and could be up to 250 hp with a little help from a turbo 12000 red line and sounds unreal out the pipe i just need a big shoe horn ..:rofl3:

 

What side does the primary come out? You could remove the passenger area and have it where a passenger normally sits.

 

Too all of you asking we did it. My cousin officially has an le 50 inch with a bored and stroked 1700 v4 yamaha vmax engine. Bored and stroked to an 1850. We own a shop that is known to produce some very "different" builds. After both of us owning the previous vmax 1200's and knowing the power they possessed we figured why the hell not put a 1700 in an rzr. It took alot of doing and frame modification and not sure if I would do it again. But the end result since we built some custom engine covers that hide it was people hearing it when he starts it stating that doesnt sound right, to xp1k owners crapping themselves in a race on the dunes. Ill be posting pictures soon on the entire build.

whats wrong with the Z1 ??? maybe it wont fit??

 

The toughest thing about any motor swap is how you manage to connect it to the rest of the drive train.

A Harley V-twin would probably have the front cylinder rubbing on the right rear tire...that wouldn't last long...

We had to widen the frame and make it longer. Luckily theres a shop here in okc thst specializes in custom drive shafts so we put bigger axles and driveshafts on it.

How about some pics of the 50" Mad Max RZR

 

Even Buell give up on the Harley air cooled engines and went rotax. You can't get enough horse power and still be reliable wih air cooling.Even snowmobiles give up 20 years ago. Harley builds cults and life styles not real motorcycles.Yes I gave mine away:rm_thumbdown:
