What a beast...!

I love it.

I still can't visualize how they transfer power to the front end...I see the sprocket and chain on the fork, but it's the magic between there and the frame that I don't understand.

It uses a universal socket, similar to a CV joint on a car. The first picture shows the jackshaft that drives the unit and you can see the chain going back through the upper portion of the frame to the main jackshaft
