Macbob down in Aussie land builds those for his copperhead racing thing he does...
I've seen it done with Mac kart engines too

Well, if each is balanced well enough as a single cylinder they won't be any worse linked at a random angle. If they are off angle you won't get any smoothness improvement, but somehow I doubt that was a priority on this one.For any multi-cylinder engine, ignition timing is paramount if they are to have balance and last. If they fire ten or 20 degrees off crank shaft balance, you have created a clunker.
I like em shaky.... actually, it makes me wonder what the difference is in power output based on varying degrees of crank rotation between firing.... gotta love them harleys, and 2 cyl deeres too
I'm not sure about jds either, but I believe the Harleys are only like 45°2 cylinder Deere tractors do not fire 180° apart, if I remember right, the pistons fire around 270° apart... that's where they get all of their torque from.
Not so sure about the Harleys. ;D

Sometimes when it's really off it might even sound like a Harley.
