conversion kit lets you turn your motorcycle into a bicycle by removing the engine and adding a pedal drive kit.

all the rage in europe!

email for more details.




I've looked it up but I can't even find references to it. I see converting a motorcycle to run on diesel, converting it into a hybrid gas/electric, converting to electric, converting to an ultralight aircraft, converting into art, converting into a lawnmower but no references to anybody converting their heavy motorcycle frame into a bicycle.

I must just not be searching properly. Who wouldn't want to do this, particularly if it's all the rage in Europe!?

Good Grief! The unsprung mass alone of all but the latest sport bikes weighs as much as five bicycles.

Sheesh!

That is crazy. I don't worry about the price of gas when I am riding the bike. 3 gallons is not going to hurt too bad. It is when I have to fill the truck that I get depressed.....80 bucks worth....chris3

Maybe you should put pedals on it. Somebody somewhere has got to have a kit for that sort of thing. :laugh:
