I found a youtube playlist of 2cv engined choppers, courtesy I believe of one of the 'snailers'.

And also this one.

To Pete Edwards,

This is not a request for tools etc. Just to say all the best to the Jawa / CZ Owners Club. I look at the very interesting website every couple of weeks to keep me up-to-date. Nice to see some of the names are still around from the early days. I look back to the early rallies at Swindon we had with very fond memories. I couldn’t wait for the date to come around each year and still have the prizes I won including all the rally badges from 1978 to 1985. I still have the motorcycle I made with the Citroen 2CV engine / gearbox all those years ago (though I can’t ride anymore).

It has a Citroen Visa 652cc engine, modified to fit a 2CV gearbox, fitted with infra red ignition, lightened fly wheel 7lb, lightened clutch, hydraulic operated, CX 500 forks and wheel, twin front discs, modified cylinder heads fitted with twin Amal carbs, alloy rocker covers, straight through stainless exhausts, 4 speed and reverse gears. I did try to start it 4 years ago. The carbs were flooding but there was a good spark. Below are a few photos.

Anyway, best wishes to the Jawa / CZ Owners Club. From a very old ex club member.

Regards, Geoff White. South Wales .

Spotted this small trike at a rally in Dorset this weekend. Mated to a Ural gearbox. Thought it all rather neatly done.

I believe the first one is aimed at me, but as to it's random placing in this thread I'm no more enlightened than you, :?

Post Re: 2cv engines in bikes
I used to own a ural in my youth.

Mine did not have a sidecar. I found out the hard way, why they were originally fitted with sidecars! ... apart from ploughing ...

My first attempt at overtaking a car resulted in me not being able to pull back in front of it and left me stranded on the wrong side of the road with a fast approaching car flashing his headlights.

I could only pull in when I decelerated ..... This left me feet away from the vehicle I was overtaking.

Turned out to be the gyroscopic effect of the flywheel.

Would 2CV engined bikes suffer from this?
