I'd love to see the details of that conversion.

Somewhere, somehow, the drive train had to make a 90 turn, for one thing. Suzuki probably made a shaft drive bike of some sort, but that'd come off the side of the engine and I don't see it offset to one side or the other.

It is most likely in that cylindrical housing directly behind the motor.
 
My first thought is, how would there be enough air movement to keep the engine cool? Or is it a water cooled engine as some cycle
engines are?
 
Nope, that one's air cooled. I can certainly see that being a problem.

Nice toy, but not very practical for a tractor unless there are features I'm not aware of.
 
I rode my brothers Valkyrie for a Summer. There would be no clutch issue, it is stout multi disk wet. At 100+ horse power, liquid cooled, and of a nasty temper, it would be a wild ride. Jim
 
Liquid cooled (look at the images for a radiator ant pipes). No fins, and I drove one for a summer. Jim
