It is a much more simple matter than you think to
get a rotary to work in a harleyish frame.
If you point the exhaust and intake toward the rear
tire you can bring the engine furthur
forward to the front down tube(s) but no so far
forward that you cant mount a radiator to
them. This will put the e-shaft above where the
traditional clutch basket has to go. If
you do a 1.5:1 to 2:1 belt/gear/chain reduction off
the crank, you wont have to change
anything really. If you drive straight off the crank
you will mess up all of the
forward/mid controls layout because of where the
clutch basket ends up. No exhaust to
burn your legs either. You could wrap the throttle
horn over the top of the engine
toward the front forks and get a nice charge of air
coming off the front tire.

Here is one in a BMW frame that showed up at Seven
Stock last year.
Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.
And again the exhaust are welded on the outside.
