I just bought two of them and ran into the oversized tubing issue on my very first build. I think the engine mount designed by Creative Engineering is the way to go but I need the tube sizes and I don't have anything at home to do that with any accuracy.

Thanks much for the assistance.

A friend sent me this today: moped I know nothing about it but thought some of you might be interested.

After owning a Harley Davidison Superglide (1978 1/2) I always wanted to take the next step up and get an Electraglide. Sadly I never did.

That's why I've decided to make my first EZM build a dresser with windshield, chrome springer, long chrome exhaust pipe and a set of fiberglass saddlebags made by the same friend who sent me the link above. You see, he makes an occasional set of custom built fiberglass bags for motorcycles but my set will be his first motorized bicycle bags. If folks like them I think I can get him to make more.

I've picked a brand new 26" Huffy Cranbrook like this one Walmart.com: 26" Men's Huffy Cranbrook Cruiser Bike, Champagne: Bikes, Scooters & Skates to build upon. It's going to be a really tight fit but I think I can make it work.

I began by installing the mount that came with my EZM kit but learned the factory mount pushed the engine too far to the rear and would only work if I ran the engine without an air cleaner. Something I suggest you don't do.

So I rounded up some scrap metal, got out my welder, angle grinder and chop saw and went to work on a prototype mount. It's not the prettiest thing in the world but for the most part it will be hidden from view.

I was almost ready to bolt my mount to the Huffy and test fit the engine when my brother called to ask for my help in getting his Toyota off the side of the road-- seems he needed a new fuel filter.

Anyway, if it fits I'll take pictures at each stage so you can see how it goes.

I later found out that I had to custom make a front motor mount. I was up for the challenge, but It was So much harder than I thought.

I can see how others say its so easy but on your first build it isnt (for me atleast). I had to make three trips to ACE and more to Lowes, I wish I knew people around here that had a shop of some sort that have scrap metal because I bought a piece of steel and it wasnt cheap. It took three times to finally get everything perfect(so I thought) and once I finally tightened it all together, I guess I tightened the rear mount to tight and the mount ripped in half. So I used the original front motor mount on the back and It worked fine. I was so stoked I finally got it mounted, BUT when I looked closely the motor was slightly crooked and the drive chain sprocket was going towards my rear spokes. Now I gotta start over. *#&#@#$%^
