I have been in contact with Royce Creasey about the Voyager Reliant engine to Guzzi gearbox conversion plate and looks like I may have the drawings soon.
Would anyone be interested in them if I can cast them?
The pic below is a naked Voyager

Yeah, ugly was almost compulsory in the 70s.  I've got no idea what the gearing would be like with a Guzzi box mated to a Reliant engine, but I'd be curious to see the results if they did an auto box. They did didn't they? I'm sure I remember Southern Cycles building a Guzzi powered trike back in the 80s which was an automatic. Might be very useful for some of our disabled forum members. Would make an interesting article for the Trike Tech bit of the Motors section. |

Exactly what I was thinking, evedently there are three types of gearbox ,Le Mans, California, and a modern one. Will investigate more and try to write article.

Check out the second link on an earlier post and see some really ugly and some not so ugly FF's, I spent several hours looking at the galleries of these types of bike. http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4321.0Hope to have all the details of the conversion in the next few days and drawings of the adapter plate an a licence to make them. |
