Well, the kit arrived and I pre-checked for fitment. Dang, the front mounting bracket won't bolt onto the suspension fork without fabbing a horshoe-shaped plate to distribute the stress.

Sooo, I drove to the bike shop and bought a new Raleigh Retroglide 7 that I'd been wanting to buy for the past three years. It has multi-speed derailleur, dual v-brakes, cruiser-type frame and a solid fork. Once I solve the Rockshox mounting problems, I can install that suspension fork on my new bike. Then I'll donate my old girlie bike to charity.

Installing the front engine friction drive kit took 45 minutes, after carefully removing both fenders. Transferring the rear engine took another 45 minutes. I need longer bolts so finishing will take a few days.
