i will give it a try---the bike is a V4 engine --ive talked to the owner at auburn harley davidson--at el mirage ---and at speed week 09----he takes a set of cases spreads them apart and machines a center case so that he can bolt on 4 heads and barrels --which only makes the engine  about 8 inches wider ( im guessing here)  the rockers are extended from the right heads to the left set of heads  so no need for another cam chest ---first time i saw the bike i noticed it had 4 exhaust pipes and that the engine fit under the fxr gas tank---the crankshaft is made by press fit and welding ---all in all a pretty good idea--the engine is a little spendy for my budget---i saw the bike in impound and i think they were getting ready to pull the front heads --not a job i would want ---i have a card somewhere if anyone is intrested let me know-------------willie bucha    not a new idea     http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2007/01/15/twindian-twin-engine-indian-motorcycle/

TP Engineering..= Tom Perone

The kit allows you to take two Evo based engines and mount/install them together via the new center section.

On the dyno the bike makes good HP (can't post it because I don't know if Bob or the owner want it mentioned) however it should be enough to run 170 mph.

If you look at the bike hard enough you will see a little bit of Hayabusa in it..

It better do at least 170...

a local fellow from here runs over 160, with a 1 cylinder Harley 1000cc..

Oh yeah:::

It better run over 160.

A local fellow from here runs over 152 with a 1 cylinder Harley 500cc   and that's with real American miles per hour none of those silly Canadian Kilometers.

4 Cly. Harley (side by side) nothing new.....Kenny Lyons build and raced one at Bonneville back in the early 1980's.....if I recall it ran around 180mph.....we all stayed together at the "famous" Patio Motel and worked on our racing bikes in the rooms.  Those were the days!!!!!!!!!..............................................
