[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 805609, member: 22662"] I used to laugh when the "new" hybrids came out because to my technologically simple mind, trains have always been "hybrids" with diesel-electric. Back whe Harley-Davidson and Ford had dealings together, I was hoping to see a small Harley V-Twin-electric hybrid. That would have been both cool and drawn in the Harley crowd to small efficient vehicles that weren't motorcycles. Plus, what's easier to maintain and rebuild than an air-cooled HD V-Twin? I'm surprised that the guy went with a manual conversion. That couldn't be cheap and a modified, very, very, capable built for power Allison can be had for about $4,000 installed. Looking forward to that mod once I start slipping the original tranny. It will happen.:happy-very: [/QUOTE]
