Diesel/Veggie oil motorcycle
 
I found this over on a Mercedes Benz forum!

Again, one of those fun project which I am not sure to file it under Motorcycle or Fossil-Fuel-Free!

Hey, it's green.

Booger green, but still green.

Where'd the guy find a v-twin diesel? I see singles and inlines, but never v-twins.

This is pretty cool. I would love to have something like this. Maybe I will have to start looking for a bike that I can mod myself. So what is this bike capable performance wise? I'm sure it's likely not really fast, but probably a very sufficient mode of transportation.
Does anyone know anything about delay timers? What are they used for?

This is one of the coolest, cleanest conversions I have ever seen. I want a diesel bike soooo bad.

You don't even need to convert them.
Royal Enfield actually made them as diesel models ;)

Absolutely Awesome! Would love to have a similar bike, Any mention of what trans used, or was a custom fabbed plate used for a stock tranny??
