Is the power from both engines transfered through the rear engines gearbox?
How long did the primary chains last on these bikes? Where they changed after every event?

I'll try to answer on what I know about it.

754 I just bought it, I went to look at some parts, as soon as I seen it, I knew I had to have it. The guy built it 30 years ago, and it has not run in nearly 30 years. It was not originally for sale, but I wasn't leaving without it.

Yes all power goes through the rear gear box. I think this one was built mainly for fun and not for any serious racing.

To paraphrase  Major Kong : "Well, I've been to one world fair, a picnic, and a rodeo but I ain't never seen anything like that"

Nice find, enjoy it !!!

Thanks guys. I am working on getting it running again, and then after that point possibly some new paint and detailing. Right now the front engine is stuck from sitting, so my main focus is freeing it up.

The turning radius is not that bad, but then again I have been riding 68-70 inch wheelbase drag and street bikes for 25 years. Lol

The previous owner/builder assures me that it is very easy to start, he bragged about how many times he won money from people betting that he could start it first kick. I hope this is true.

Eisch! That's something! I can't wait to hear your adventures with the Eight - and to see some close-up photos.  Does she have a name yet? something like that has to have a name.

Well, in the same vain as the Godfather of SOHC multis Russ Collin's AT&SF, how about "Norfolk & Western"?
