Cool project! I like it. Can you tell me how about vibrations and the noise?

I was thinking once of building a bike with Daihatsu Charade engine. It's one liter 3 cyl turbodiesel. It's much bigger and heavier than your 1 cyl engine so I would need a stronger frame for it. Imagine Honda Gold Wing Diesel
