BMW 1200 GS

By Yoshiyah Hawkins

Categories: Homebuilt Trikes

Test day at Caldwel Idaho. It's not a Cadillac but its fun. Fuel injected with an alleged ceiling of 17K, German gear box and brain. Box is a 3.1 to 1 Warp drive five blade 66 with only 10 degrees. Single surface Mpulse 19. Looking for a younger model wing but no luck yet. Might do a 15. I am beefing up the suspension for my extra engine weight. My E1 gauge is nice. It gives me RPM, oil temp, oil pressure, head temp, battery voltage, hours, and when I have to take the trash out.

    Hey Yoshiyah & Jozinko, great photos. It's going to take me a while to absorb it all. Really cool, thank you!  Very interesting.

    I really like this engine.  Where did you buy your accessories (redrive, etc.)?

    The engine is the BMW 1200. I bought the clutch and gear reduction drive for the prop in Germany. I also bought the wiring harness from Germany because the BMW motorcycle has a security system in it, that without the factory ignition key, you are not going to start that engine. So my ECU is a German Trijekt.  You can go to Takeoff.de You may private message me if you want as I have some very disturbing things to say about Takeoff.
