I totaled my '13 FX riding dirt a while back, and instead of trying to bandaid it back together, decided to tear it down and make it a bigger project of it. It's gone nowhere so far but I dug it out this weekend and it's got me thinking again. Original plan was a custom cafe racer and more recently I've been thinking of cramming it into a competent dirtbike frame (if I can find one with a blown motor cheap), and gokart and all the usual projects sound fun, but I've also been wondering what kind of interesting uses I could put a relatively compact/portable 44HP motor to beyond a vehicle (which I already have too many of). Getting that kind of power would generally require high voltage 3-phase or a huge generator, so I'm wondering what kind of industrial-strength apparatus it might bring into my reach! It could some kind of serious blacksmithing equipment no doubt. Waterjet has crossed my mind but only running 20min at a time would be too limiting, and even the consituent parts of intensifier pumps ain't cheap, though I could spend a few thousand for the right project. What do you all think?
