Its Time for another one of my crazy ideas (Read 87 times)

Diesel Thumper maybe a turbo too. But with a turbo you would have to do fuel injection because carb tuning might be impossible Im thinking the high compression of a diesel would just rip the thing apart.

Apparently there is a diesel version of the Indian made Royal Enfield perhaps you could start by turboing one of those.

However I'm no totally sure as to how you would swap the spark plugs out for glow plugs and the accompanying ignition system.

If you're interested in diesel bikes, this website is cool: www.dieselbike.net I thought about building one before I got my Savage, but even the smallest engines are expensive.

Diesel smoke is somehow therapeutic. I do some of my best thinking while I'm out in the field on the tractor, with some fumes wafting to my nose.
