Hi Rusty,  I think that is a 2 rotor in the photo.  For a single the entire drive could be lightened.  I like the use of the stock bell housing, and the fact that there are outboard bearings top and bottom.  It seems extraordinary well designed and built but then I am used to looking at my own work  which normally is lacking in both these categories.

 I wish I could get my mail program to write in color.    Jerry

Does anyone recognize this drive?  I found the photo yesterday but with no information.  I think it is a beauty and I would like to know more.  Jerry
 
Hi Jerry,
 
I’ve never seen the drive before, but can’t help noticing that it’s bolted to a single rotor.  That piques my curiosity as well.  What is it that you like so much about the drive?  It looks huge, as if it might weigh more than the engine.
