you stiil need to put a break on that bike, coz of the enertia once you move that, specialy on high speed,,

.Pretty nice engineering going on there...I ride a 93" ..1946 HD, avon venom tires, but nothing as radical as this....I like the center hub steering. Are you seeing any kind of problems with DMV on the hydraulic steering..?

@shawnsack ill crisize,your building it for nothing,mark my words ,you wont enjoy that ride at all,way oversized and its gonna tip way to easy,scrap it n save your life

To the builder? What kind of power, RPM can pumps and motors like this take? I want to build a V8 motorcycle with an alloy block Rover 3500cc engine (stock land rover type engine) and have been thinking about how to deal with the tranny. Hydraulic would sound like a good idea. What about volume of fluid and the need for fluid cooling?

@Mr24Hacker I noticed that as well including snagging on just about everything. Perhaps a single bi-directional cylinder parallel to the tire with a half moon disc mounted to a plate & bearing. The half moon disk joined to the wheel axle. Perhaps even a cylinder and disc on each side of the tire.

So that would be a hydrostatic transmission like a bobcat right?

your bike is impressive, you used rexrod pump, this pump is excellent to high performance, to see 26 gallons usses in linde´s pump, to high speed arounds 140 Km/h if the engine rotates 1750 Rpm, i´m only said great bike and sorry if i´m wrong

very impressive engineering, but i do agree with shawnsack, but its your design and thus far very impressive. i wish i had that kind of tallent and creativity and tools avalible to do such things.

I like it and all. but how r u going to make a shap right hand turn on the highway going 80 mph. your going to wreck with those steering cylinders out that far. you have to lean farther than that.
