Question Flat Dodge, opposing cylinders, engine

I saw a show on the speed channel recently about motorcycles, and it showed a cycle with a flat , looked like opposing cyliners, engine. Something like a VW engine. It was not a trike. The engine was in the normal position. They said it was a Dodge. Has anyone ever heard of a Dodge engine like this? Thanks

BMW has had flat opposed cylinders since 1923. The WWII army specification Harley was a clone of the opposed cylinder BMW. I saw the Harley in the AMA motorcycle museum in Ohio and I ride an airhead BMW with opposed cylinders. Don't think Dodge ever went there.

What I saw was homemade. They said it had a dodge engine. But it didn't look like any dodge I ever saw. The end of the cylinders did look like the BMW, but the rest didn't.
