I am trying to find anyone or a company that has or still
manufacturers an adapter kit for an 07 96" Harley V-Twin
to a Volkswagen transaxle. |

Why not fabricate something yourself?
Guys who build Harley drag bikes could figure it out.

The manufacturers of the Harley to vw adapters quit producing them due to crankshaft failures of the Harley engine. _________________

Yeah, that's a lot of weight for an unbalanced V-twin to be pushing around. _________________ “If you care for a thing long enough, it takes on a life of its own, doesn't it? Mending old things, preserving them, looking after them – on some level there's no rational grounds for it.”

What?! A VW Bug only weighs a few hundred more pounds than a fully dressed Harley.
Leave your ol' lady at home, it works out about even.

I'm thinking that a full dresser is about 800#.
A Harley motor is sorta crude...un-balanced.
These guys are the leaders w/adapters
