The engine is 13 hp with direct injection. I bought the Royal Enfield without the engine & transmission, it only had 2200 miles on it. The frame is our own design, we built a mock up with the engine & clutch then took it into a Bend fabrication shop, the fabricator, Rick, had built 3800 frames for BMC Choppers and had a lot of great ideas, he was able to stuff the engine in without stretching the frame, a big surprise, I didn't think it could be done. However, we had to modify the gas (diesel) tank to clear the engine. It does have an electric start and also has a compression release, it's easy to start with the pull rope. I'll try to eliminate the rope starter if the electric starter is reliable. That's a Comet 44 torque converter.
I'm heading back south in a couple of weeks and my priority is to get my 65 305 Superhawk on the road before I leave, I'll finish the diesel in the spring.
