I am sometimes not the brightest fella, a while back I built my shortcase Piaggio engine up, but I also forgot to put sufficient oil in the transmission.
It wrecked the cases in the transmission pretty badly.
You can see it even turned the bearing blue.
So being a creative fella and not wanting to throw these cases away, I added in a HK1612 bearing like the Malossi cases and that also fixed the damage.
Ever since my last twin, I wanted another. Just not in the AF18 cases because it's such a hassle. Since my new love is Piaggio motors, I figured why not.
I started by adding a liquid cooled case half on the stator side and re maching everything to suit.
I then designed a twin center half
This will be a slow build. I have no money, just time to tinker. I need to get 2 cranks and I am thinking twin 50cc LC but may even go 50cc air cooled twin. I have one Doppler crank here, maybe get another one and build it off those. Then 2 either MHR team 50 cylinders air or liquid.
