Last Call: Six Pack Edition

norm-grabowski-corvair-motorcycle
This is Norm Grabowski’s epic Corvair-powered custom bike he dubbed the “Six Pack.” That’s a custom and highly-polished pancake six dropped into a 1941 shaft-drive Indian frame. The Chevy motor leaves no room in the bike for a transmission so it’s separated from the back wheel by nothing more than the clutch. It’s also… a kick start only!
Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not only accepted, it’s encouraged.

    An order of magnitude cooler than a Boss Hoss.

      Damning with faint praise.

    Don’t get your pant leg caught by the driveshaft.

    Years ago, a guy in our Corvair club (NTCA) built a Corvair-powered trike. It had the shifter for the Powerglide sprouting from the (former) gas tank.

    Neat, famous machine, but I’d rather trade those rear two cylinders for a transmission, which was Von Dutch’s choice:
