I have a Goldwing 1200 and the planes for the conversion. Part of the reason I selected the 1200 was that the transmission has an impulse dampener. You just take out gears 1 & 2, 3,4 & 5 leaving 3rd. gear and your set. You just have to set the engine 4" off center to get the drive line to center positions.
It sure sounds and looks like a good idea to me. Who has a project for sale that just needs an engine and instruments set in and on it for $1,500 or less.
