Marcair, It looks like you are in So cal, I'm located in Portland, Oregon. I have just obtained a Yellow 1993 Honda beat . It was damaged in the ft end & I had it rebuilt. I own a Auto recycling facility. We have specialized in Honda's for many years. This is where I get my name from. (hondaslayer) I import parts and parts vehicles 3-to 5 times a year from Japan in 40ft containers. This is where I got my parts to repair this vehicle. Let me know if you would like a spare beat for parts. I just thought I would say hello. Let me know if you get anywhere putting a bike motor in. I may be interested in the same thing if its not to out of line cost wise. I also would not want to give up reverse. I think I read somewhere there is a Beat with b18 engine do you know anything about that? Craig
