also...these guys www.geronimocages.co.uk are apparently selling
similar z-car type rear mounting frames. couldn't find pics on their
page, but in a magazine article they advertise complete 45mm tube cage,
with bike engine mounts and suspension, brakes, bearings, lsd, etc etc....

food for thought for all you bike-engine-mini dreamers.

contains a "cush" drive

'a mini is for life, not just for christmas!'

SuperSeven, most modern chain driven sports bikes have the sprocket attachment separated from the rear wheel. That is to say that the sprocket is bolted to a plate with fins that fits inside the wheel hub which also contains fins. In the gaps between the two sets of fins is a hard rubber notched disc. This is known as a cush drive short for cushion. It momentarily takes the stress of a hard launch or bad gearchange/lockup. Without it chains would wear quickly or snap, not good on a motorcycle especially at say 240km/h.

Cheers

Matt
