Well that gives the bucket sidecar crowd something to aim at....The motor impresses me though. Case reed triple - and i can't recognise any visible part as having come from an over the counter motor...

He needs lessons in sponsorship though - if you've got chains from two makers, you shouldn't be able to see both stickers in one photo.

Not for competition here but I think he used it in hillclimbs

It is, I'm not sure where I pulled the 175cc figure from, most likely out of my arse

I use modified Wiseco pistons.The crankshaft, cylinders, cast crank-case and all other parts are home made. I dont know how much HP it deliver, but by comparison with my other sidecar ( RD500LC engine, 90HP), it should be arround 85HP at 10'000 rpm
