I like this diagram in particular. It shows me a way to measure my own. @jsoluna is it ok if I post this in my own thread?

Absolutely. Some measurements are easier to the OD of the crank, others are easier to the centerline. That was just a rough sketch, so the physical references are pretty sloppy. I plan on redrawing it. Edited August 12 by jsoluna 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doubt you'd fit a Command twin in there without modifications. Shrouding and form factor in general are bulkier. Edited August 12 by jsoluna 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I raised the engine 3/4", here is the base plate on the 312-8.; Edited August 12 by Lee1977 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
