since there's no driveshaft in there i'm guessing its just a couple of ends and a rotor housing slapped together to make a goofy photo. but if there are guys farting around on top of V8's, a 1 rotor is definitely doable. IIRC Norton, a brit co, put out some rotary sportbikes for a while.

He wouldn't need a driveshaft, he would just run a chain off of the crank or gearbox output, but that's going to be one hell of a close fit for a gearbox unless he's going to just run it direct drive.

Right now he has it put in there so that if he ran it direct drive, it would spin the wheel backwards though?!?



cool idea none the less....

If people can fit 502 cubic inch Chevrolets on a motorcycle chassis they can surely do it with a lowly rotary. :]
