First blink, nice 400, then WTH!!!   More info on that scooter.  More pics, sound clip would be cool.
I am impressed with the machining needed to make the cases work.
Looks very tidy.

Woah, no kidding.  I thought it was a 400 Super Sport until I looked more closely.  Very cool project.  Would love more photos and details and would really love to hear a video of it cranked!

Very cool, but I bet that thing is HEAVY!  Those brakes look upgraded to handle more heft.

Doum,

We REALLY need some more details on this.  You can't just drop a bomb on us like that with no information, build pics, specs, etc.  Mating two top ends into a V-8 is no small undertaking.  This reminds me of the W3 Harley in the last Iron & Air.

I built it myself.

Many will be disapointed but I didn't have many pic of the built.I hate wasting my time by taking picture instead of working on my project.Measurement took step by step,no plan..... i'm a little bit oldschool :)

I'ts really not a 4 cyl feeling,and not a v8.Since it's a 4 cylinder crankshaft with master link connecting rod setup.For sure I lost power since I use only 2 carb to feed it,no more space Under the tnk.The goal wasn't the power.I have this idea for 2 year and decide to do built it this winter,just for the fun to create something I saw in my head.

I could tell much more about it but sometime word are missing,english isn't my first language,I live in quebec,Canada.

That is an amazing piece of engineering.  How did you modify the crankshaft to accommodate 4 additional rods? Is the firing order of the second bank of cylinders the same as the first so that it cancels out the vibration?  How are the ports mated and fed by the carburetors and airbox?
