DIESEL CHOPPER REAR HYDRO DRIVE

[freedomtoclick]

But the question is.....Will it float??

[MrF19850214]

brakes?

[WILDSTAR1606]

WE HAVE TO TALK :D

[LinearNavigator]

2WD anyone?!

[creamyfilling102]

why a hydrostatic? the efficiency of a diesel, combined with the most ineficient drivetrain known to mankind. they work great for skid loaders and combines, but a road going vehicle? why?

[mdowning77]

is there and advantage of power or torque? or did you just get wild and build something crazy? its cool though!

[wethepeoplebmx420]

that is so bad ass! never seen a hydraulic drive motorcycle before nice work man.. i hope it hauls ass when its finished

[tylerlevesque75]

fucking sick period....

[notesone12]

TY wow too cool

[XXINTL]

gorgeous machine man. great work and great idea.

[bazengao]

it looks likr the wheel levitates below the bike! ITS AWESOME!!

[odmcarp]

how did your test ride go? did you have to add any shims back at the rear tire to true it up?

[porkpig350]

awesome..something different (powertrainwise) for a change...hey did you make the dog go around the bike when you mentioned "dog tracking" on purpose??? because it was funny!!!

[speakerboxxP]

Thank god, something new and different. I'm sick and tired of watching family feud turn good pieces of stock into f'n pez dispensers and reindeer bikes. Great job and innovation.

[steveeaa]

It's tough to get track right on dead nuts. Neat setup.

[shotgunwalter]

what relief pressures are you at? Or is the motor rated much higher than the pump?

[Ridedirtba25]

What is the hydraulic motor off of?

[tomwithtats]

WTF?! So far, all the work comin out of this shop is brilliant, insanely creative, and top notch quality! Mad-effin-scientist Customs is more like it!

[cledus10376]

that is BAD ASS!!!!

[silver760]

wheel is not vertical,so it seems.

[39cummins]

That is the coolest friggin motorcycle ever!!

[axm203]

That thing looks sick, I'm not even sure if it should be called a chopper, it may be in a class of its own

[elyohcsrev]

Nice work....professional attitude too.

[lvogts]

the bike will dynamic brake when you let of the throttle, you can coast by pulling in the "clutch" lever.

[stopglobalswarming]

Does it use hydraulic pressure to brake too? Is there engine drag effect on the wheel when you let off the throttle (I.e, can you coast?)

[ORT1ZZ]

great

[RamThisDTO]

Wow that's interesting. I am a small engine tech and work on Scag ZTR commercial equipment, and some Toro ZTR's. I'm curious as to what kind of hydro motors and pump you are using? The ones we use are not set up for more than about 15 or so MPH and only really work when the engine is at full RPM and the pumps are at full pressure.

[atsidlm]

Always wanted to do that, no more broken chains

[stopglobalswarming]

OWNS

[street948]

tight

[jbarryt2007]

nice, could you tell me what kind of hydraulics you used to drive the rear wheel?

[w0247379]

Damn, that is gorgeous

Nice work.
