Where's the radiator?  ::)  ;D
I'd like to see how that person rigged up the output chain or driveshaft or whatever he used......

That's not an automatic. That's just a linkage going to the stock gearbox shifter (looks like he's using the stock gearbox). I would think that'd be the weak link (clutch and gearbox).

Really?

I think this issue needs to go to arbitration.

        Looks pretty obvious to me, unless that right side cover (torque converter cover)is camo to throw folks off.

Hi guys yes its a Hondamatic. That linkage runs to the shifter for the Hi and Low gears. I wish I would have taken some more pics and seen how the driveline was setup. Wonder if it was chain, shaft or belt. I didn't ask the price because I was afraid I'd take it home! I just noticed it now but it sorta looks like the front wheels are CB 750 wheels and disks? He started it up for us. It had two glaspacks on it an oddly it sounded like a V8. Think it would get up and move guys? :)

At the time I didn't think to look underneath. But I,m guessing that's how it is too.
