    "VMW's" have a following and there were several conversion companies around "back in the day". Willis was one of the better known outfits.
    Here is a bike that I have worked on and ridden. Riding it is "different" as the wheelbase has been stretched to make the engine fit and it does not handle as well as original.
    The engine has a lot more torque to work so one must be careful regarding the transmission and rear end.
    All in all it was a fun experience but I'll stick with stock.

    (Honda got it right with the Gold Wing. )

    Best,

    Tom

    A bike I encountered at the Brit Bike meet here in LA two weeks ago. Two Ariel square fours hooked together... Something you don't see everyday.

    Here it is running
