front mounted R1 covversion
wow, that’s cool! Can just keep the A on a bench and look at it while enjoying the r1. What I saw that's a little scary is the gear change stuff is 4Kgbp. I think the manual one would fit the bill, but there's no price for it listed.

Problem with the bike conversions out there is the chain is too short: it overheats, throws all of the oil off of it and cooks the chain, necessitating frequent replacements of the chains and sprockets.
It's certainly not a daily driver setup and the bike gearboxes aren't designed to take the load of a car's weight, so are the weakest link besides the chains. Fun track car for 20-30 minute sessions. But not much else.
