Nothing to stop a fixed engine/wheel/chain unit flexibly mounted to the main frame.
Mucks up your unsprung weight, but a lot more opportunity to use the seesaw-ed engine weight to dampen vibrations anyway.

Try to make the 2 primaries of the same length and if possible | make them so you can cut 4-5 inches out of both pipes if you fit a | hot cam and bits later on. It won't sound like a Harley but it should | be good for torque and have a surprisingly meaty sound.
Thank you for the suggestions.

Some people just like a motorcycle to sound and ride like a tractor I suppose... No offence to tractors!! ;-)
I've ridden my nice smooth 4-cylinder Honda with a group of Harleys before... Like riding in an earthquake. The whole bike shakes - easily an inch of movement at the rear mudguard of some of them! And they are ...LOUD. Not my cup of tea but people don't buy a Harley if they want it to be smooth, to handle, to stop, or to go fast as that isn't the point of them and perhaps that's not the point of the Fiat...
If it sounds like a Harley will the Fiat also have the chrome and tassles?
I thought it was ice speedway? Oh no that was Ivan Mauger.
Harley started that in '80 or '81 with the FLT's.
