correct.  His name is Heiko.  You can find info on his Diesel steamers on Youtube.  He has Dieselized three if not more Steamers; and will do so for someone that orders one from him. He has put CVT's (auto tranny) on them successfully also.  The ones in this pic are harlely Ultima 6speeds and 3" belt drive.  

He's also done it with a small supercharger instead of exhaust turbo.

he has also converted other bikes like Speed Tripple, Harley etc and small cars successfully.  Has an Electric bike conversion done now too.  You can find them all on his Youtube page and website. (link on youtube page)
