A group of former Harley Davidson development engineers, who call themselves the Gray Eagles, are currently working on converting a 1988 Harley Davidson FXRS V-twin engine into a turbo diesel with electronic fuel injection.

The group currently don't have any plans to produce the motorcycle or engine as the motorcycle is as it's currently only a concept demonstrator as opposed to a pre-production prototype.

Watch the video to see the motorcycle in action and read the full article in MCN, out Wednesday 12th March 2008.

  • I never hear harley owners bashing metric bikes, its peeps like MoutainUHmonkey and subiedude who hate...and my first harley was a 1996 XLC custom.  It cost me $7000 ,i had it for 7 yrs . i traded it in 2 moths ago and got $5,544 trade value for it...yes i took care of it, yes i added extras. I know dudes with busas who do the same thing. but dudes with busa's and ninjas...good luck getting any trade value.

  • Contrair mofrair. 15-20k? Leaks oil? As if to say that ALL Harley's cost 15-20k and leak oil, haha.

    Don't know where you're looking or what you think you know about Harley's, but you are sadly mis-informed if that's what you believe.

    Harley Davidson Motorcycles is the most recognized brand in the world. Most people who own them do so for the unique comradery and experience you get with EVERY Harley.

    You're right about the wind in our faces though.

    RIDE ON!

  • Harley dosen't have any engineers, unless you count sticker and decal designer/ engineers. If they want something engineered they send it to Germany for development. What the hell do you need engineers for when you make the same thing for decades between change? They cut the legs out from under the only mutherfucker who had any passion for the sport of motorcycleing, Buell.

  • @SpiritsoftheWolf even longer if you beat on them ;)

  • @lightninluke64 haha, funny, creepy, but funny

  • could be quicker than the petrol!

  • Would be great for Harley Davidson to go into production of diesel bikes that can also run on used cooking oil/biodiesel. You'd get to ride and smell fries too as well as filling up virtually for free. Could ride across the country for next to nothing.

  • @crabblike does that include your boyfriend lol

  • Only Harley would come out with such a freakin TOILET !!

  • hard to really tell if it was a diesel...even the gas harleys smoke alot..

  • There's oil on the ground. Leakages?
