ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle power take-off drive system is disclosed for driving a dynamometer from either a chain drive or a shaft drive motorcycle having either right or lefthand chain or shaft drive connections. A support housing is straddled by the rear frame elements of the motorcycle with a support shaft extending into the axle openings in the frame to support the frame. A drive shaft sleeve coaxially surrounds the support shaft and has either a sprocket for connection to the chain of a chain driven motorcycle attached to one end or an internally splined sleeve drivingly connectable to an externally splined output drive member of a shaft drive motorcycle. A low-friction chain connects the drive shaft sleeve to a power drive shaft drivingly connected to a dynamometer.
