Hi Greybeard,
I agree! That made me wonder. Why did they hang our engines to the right in the first place. Could the countershaft not be extended by 25mm (one inch).
I like Mikesr's idea too for a tour bike, but a cruiser needs to be 2 or 3 cylinders. I would love to see a mid size Rocket3, maybe a "Missle III" or "Bullet".
