    does anybody know how to mount an engine drag style with it hanging way out the back like this:

    im assuming you would need to weld extensions on to the frame?

    Also would it be legal for road use like that?

    mainly for show purposes mate but you would have to customise your own subfrme.

    not for show.... physics wise the engine position increases traction and stops wasting any power lifting the front wheel up

    making it is a bit harder, you'd need a whole new rear section AND subframe let alone setting up handling

    wouldnt be any good for road use, would have you leaning harshly all the time, cornering would be etchy and the turning circle would be a joke!

    I never considered that. Hadnt given it alot of thought tbh, ive just always loved the styling of drag scoots.

    Oh well, was just an idea for my next project. Im considering doing up an old 50 when i have some spare cash
