This Diesel Motorcycle is Built from Everything… Even the Kitchen Sink

This Diesel Motorcycle Is Built From Everything... Including The Kitchen Sink

From Discovery and the Diesel Brothers

If you know Roadkill Customs, you know we appreciate vehicles constructed by taking components from various vehicles and crafting it all into something unique.

With rims from a Camry, a p-trap from a sink, a diesel motor from a cement mixer, this hodgepodge motorcycle is definitely unique, as well as one badass diesel custom…

Sam Turner originally built this amazing diesel motorcycle…

At the heart of the beast is a tiny Chinese Yanmar 840cc direct-injected diesel V-twin engine that was harvested from an old cement mixer. A pair of RHB-31 turbo-chargers push air and fuel into the engine and are kept cool with an intercooler system from a Suzuki Swift.

A hydrostatic setup where the wheels are turned by hydraulic hub motors, receiving power from a hydraulic gear pump from a salt spreader and a displacement gear pump from a log splitter. A pair of 2,500-pound Airmaxx airbags, controlled by a custom-leveling system that gives the suspension nearly a foot of travel.

This bike is now part of the Diesel Brothers toy box…
