@musashi1865 Don't have plans per se, I've got some autocad dwgs I made that I could send ya. They're a bit of a mess, dimensions all over the place... : )
Very pretty piece of work but man will the bearings go all to hell if you ride it much unless it's all built with sealed rollers? And has a dust shield for the jug skirts.
@FireDropTechnologies I keep to paved roads mostly. The bearings are all pretty well shielded. May well get some piston/cylinder scoring eventually, but no sign of that yet. The old hit-and-miss engines ran for years on end with open cranks and all,,,
@amfan12 That's all I have up close. I have another video, but all it shows is him pulling out of my driveway and driving off. I tried to get as much detail in this video as I could.
How do you keep all of the parts of the engine lubricated like that with it the bottom end open?

@happy010186 The closest thing to a Harley part in that engine is the Joe Hunt magneto.(a somewhat rare 2RHD) (sidemount Shovelhead)

Nice thought in creating a v-twin on vintage lines. Nothing as simple as this.
May be he next creates one with bolted up cases for engine & g'box.
cheers..
