Is this a stupid question ?

Just completing the engine re-build on a cb750. The plan is to make the bike as naked as possible. With that in mind I want to get rid of the oil tank. Here's the stupid question....If I re- direct the flow of oil to the top of the engine and have a wet sump, what's the issues? (I did say it was a stupid question).......Frank

Trigger:
The sump is not a sump as such, it is not deep enough to hold the amount of oil that the engine requires. You will have to fit this, not cheap >>>http://www.outsidersmotorcycles.com/product/sumpthing/?v=796834e7a283
Also the oil does go to the head  ;)

hairygit:
You would need a different oil pump, the standard on is fed by gravity from the tank, it only scavenges theexisting sump to return it to the tank. Really wouldn't recommend your plan!

I don't fancy filling the engine up through the tappet cover  ???
Surly it will take ages?

Mechanically worst idea ever
