Yup, that's is what sparked the idea for me... Of course I'd rather ride the thing instead of using it just for a dyno.

Dyno numbers can be misleading, especially when it come to a road legal bike or car...highest horsepower doesn't always have the same feel in the pants

Yup, I've heard the same thing... A good dyno motor doesn't necessarily translate to a good track motor and a butt dyno can be deceiving... Roll-on's with a buddy are the best measure imo.

I use Solidworks to design toolboxes for my company www.pdysystems.com Been working on a mk2 version for fishing which I have just finished: I have been trying to find the time to do a cad of the H1 engine for a while but life gets in the way! especially my H2A restoration which has to be finished soon or it's going to sit in the garage forever.

Nice fishing box...with the obligatory holders for smokes and beer.. I'm sure Mr. Walmsley has an H1 engine CAD file...he's a Solidworks wizard.

Pretty cool tool box! It would be a good one for carb parts! Between Solidworks, Vannik and my slip roll, I don't have time for my projects anymore! Lol This stuff is a double edged sword!

I need to get on the 400 soon. I want to design a frame for a custom I'm planning but I'm gonna need to model the engine at least roughly before I get going. Its just a pain because I'm good at drawing new stuff out of my head but bad at replicating objects that already exist.

I would just measure everything LOTS and it has to be right. If you only need to model it up to fit a frame around it you don't need details just the triangulation between the mountings and if you get a measurement wrong you wont get the triangle to work in the cad program so its self testing in a way. Then you just need the bulk around the triangle which doesn't even need to look like an engine but does need to have the critical clearances correct.
Or something!

Did you see the video on the web site to see how it works? I got patents everywhere that matters for the mech.

For some stuff like a frame, I use photo's to get the geometry. The trick is to take pictures from a distance with maximum zoom to eliminate as much perspective as possible. Take enough pics and measurements and you'll have it in no time... Well maybe some time!

Thats my next task, frame geometry. Why does nobody list swingarm angle for bikes?
