The reverse consists of the ring and pinion from a 1978 Honda Goldwing, 150 to 1 ratio gear box from a commercial rotisserie and Toyota starter motor. CB750 Honda rear springs have been added to the front forks to support the extra weight of the two motors. 1985 Dodge shock absorbers were added to the rear suspension to control sway.
