Did they use shaft drive bike motors or bike motors with a driveshaft adapter on the output shaft?
They use a driveshaft adapter. I've actually thought about using a BMW K1200 engine. 4 cylinder on its side will help with the center of gravity and its already shaft drive.
Early 90's torgalson chassis is my guess. Not a bad unit at all how ever take a good look at the bends on the A pillars some of the early builds had thinner wall then they should be.
