ok two major questions

1) is this kit any good/worth the money?

2) how can you connect a motor to a motorcycle with a drive shaft?

Interesting. Wish I knew more about motors.

I do have 44 years experience with shafties:

while I have seen a picture of a pretty sanitary shaft-drive installation (in one of those photobucket sites for electric vehicles), it seems pretty unfeasible. General geometry wrong, bevel gearing is less efficient, can't change drive ratio, weight, etc. Hard to beat old fashioned chains in this application.
