How did they get header to come around the left? | ||

Export Ulys (Australian versions) have it that way. | ||
| Mungass |
oh no they don,t and its starting summer here . 31 c today,might have to ride in a t shirt ha ha ha ha | ||

I think you will also notice the primary is on the wrong side as well as the drive line. You can even see the push rod tubes on the wrong side. | ||

Mirrored image.... No big deal. Can't believe that is what the comments are about lol | ||
| Johndb |
All better now. I want one!  | ||
| Nillaice |
where did they locate the oil sump? that looks great, but the uly is too heavy for serious off-roading (IMHO) swapping to a ski and track translates to either serious off raoding or too much dammned money | ||

Should have 2 skis as no wheels=no gyro force, it would just fall over! | ||

Sharkbittenguy, You have way too much time on your convalescent hands. | ||
| Etennuly |
So then.....it's a V4????  | ||

Nice 'chop! Ronmold, there are loads of single-ski setups like this, they work fine 9including many motorcycle conversion about like the above, but usually installed on MX bikes. Gyro force isn't what holds you up even with wheels, its the ability to constantly make small corrects to keep the bike underneath you. | ||

And my wife thinks REGULAR motorcycles are dangerous! | ||
| Nillaice |
would the gryo forces of the motor spinning at 3k rpm have any effect? or is the rotating mass of the motor comoponents too close to their rotational center to have any noticeable effect? | ||
| Eraendil |
 a big fake | ||

It's a common myth that gyroscopic effect is needed to stabilize a single track vehicle. It just isn't true. Steering does the job just fine. Example, there is no gyro effect to speak of at low speeds, yet we can easily ride around in first gear if we like, or on a bicycle at near crawling speeds.  | ||

Plus there is no gyro affect when a human rides a snow board. | ||

the las time i tried to snowboard it resulted in gryoscopic forces from my body rotating, tumbling and cartwheeling down a slope. but i'm pretty sure i was doing it wrong | ||

| Bike_pilot |
The gyro effect of the motor is real and as a general matter degrades handling. This is why buells (with massive flywheel weight) ride "heavier" and steer slower than they should for their weight and geometry (fortunately the geometry is so extreme they still turn quite well). | ||
| Sharkguy |
you are right guys this is a total fake i found on the interweb, but i thought you all might get a kick out of it. it could probably be done, but at what cost and why. eg you are right, way to much time on my hand. | ||
| Ronmold |
Well anyways it would just fall over if I tried riding it!  | ||

Have you seen the videos of these things made from motorcross bikes? Or the true Timbersled version? They are amazing! Do a YouTube search for the Timbersled Mountain Horse. You will be blown away!! http://youtu.be/FE0jhFjzK0M | ||

Even cooler yet in powder! http://youtu.be/v0iM_5b1G0Y | ||
| Swampy |
It's all fun and games until someone hits that stump that is just lying in wait below the surface of all that sweet powder! | ||

It's all fun and games until someone hits that stump that is just lying in wait below the surface of all that sweet powder! Been there, done that, though not on one of these things. And it was a boulder, not a stump. | ||
| Sharkguy |
awesome video, that does look like fun! yeah, lots of things can hide under snow. | ||
| Nillaice |
that looks so fun. .. are those things street legal? kinda like putting snow chains on a car, right? | ||
| Mnrider |
It looks cool for sure but that thing would be a handfull out on the trails. Talking about snowboarding though just swill a couple beers and take your falls like a man.  I'm the fool on the left. | ||
| Babired |
Biff that you tube is beautiful! | ||
