It's been a while since we talked about any motorcycle powered cars on The Kneeslider and I just got a note about the Hyper Pro Racer so I thought I'd take a look. The 5 valve Yamaha 450 WR engine is designed for dirt bikes, but the Aussies thought it would be ideal for their track car built for the Hyper Racer spec series where all cars are the same and the engine is sealed. … [Read more...]

It looks like at least one guy did exactly that when building a hot rod T bucket. B. Tree III left a comment pointing to a photo from another link in our previous post where you can see it. It appears the … [Read more...]
Harley Davidson Powered Cars – Four Wheel Cruisers with a Heart from Milwaukee
There have been a surprising number of Harley Davidson V-Twin powered cars put together over the years and we've covered quite a few on The Kneeslider. It didn't really strike me how many there were until I saw another example for sale and I started to think about it. The latest one is this dragster style street rod for sale on eBay (auction over). I've never seen … [Read more...]
