Title: Re: Dude's got his head screwed on backwards... Post by arteacher on 02/11/12 at 09:01:38 Cam chain is in the center (I think). You would definitely need a custom cam. |

Title: Re: Dude's got his head screwed on backwards... Post by Serowbot on 02/12/12 at 08:13:39 Unfortunately,... he's put a lot of engineering into creating the traditional Harley, rear cylinder problem... overheating... You shouldn't have the exhaust port at the rear of an air-cooled engine... |

Sorry, Serow, I must contradict you. Eyewitness news: Ducatis have the rear cylinder with the exhaust port looking back ever since they came out with the belt-driven OHC Desmos. http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTDVlwgvFT20z5l5gl9f1a9PTZrxjgKbecxSA2FQkvV-BHmB9C4nfMW0Ii8UA As if THAT weren't enough, Borile, a "quasi-Buell" Italian equivalent, uses a custom made 450cc single originating from the rear cylinder only of the 900cc twin. http://www.borile.it/imgs/b450pic1.jpg Rather, the guys is using the wrong kind of air filter; looks nice and shiny, but actually pushes air away from the intake... |

The early belt dive ducatis had the exhaust port on the rear head facing the front. The 750 Paso was the first reversed head ,in 86 I think. Same engine as 750 F1 but for the head. No problems but they needed to incorporate oil cooling to keep the rear exhaust port temp down. The reverse head was just so they could use a automotive 2bbl carb and a big airbox under the tank. I have 1 with the head on right, 1 with a backward head. Neither give any trouble. HD has the rear cylinder bathing in hot air from the front one, Ducati not so. Love the borile. If I had lots of money..... |

I've often wondered why anyone would build a backwards-looking engine. It seems like common sense would put the intake in the airstream and the exhaust out the back. I think you're right though. |

Title: Re: Dude's got his head screwed on backwards... Post by cheapnewb24 on 04/09/16 at 09:02:37 When I first looked at the bike, it took a few seconds to figure out what was so different. Then, I thought something like, "Why aren't they all like this?" So, why is the conventional way so backwards? The exhaust side needs the coldest air I assume? |

That's cool. Never seen it before. Thanks. Going around a few bike websites to check specs, nobody mentions the engine's origin, and the frame specs list it variously as Cro-Mo or light alloy. Looks like a Cabbage frame to me and I'm pretty sure that one's just mild steel? |

It appears they welded on their tubing just above the point in the front where the double tubes join to a single tube. And at the back of the engine it appears there is a similar weld just behind the engine. http://www.savage-distel.de/images/werk/2005_borile_ls_scrambler.jpg |
