| | Re: Better motor mounts Yes by all means get ahold of Jim and let him make you a motor mount for your bike . Jim has made two sets for me when i took the bikes down to him and they are working great. Also check out his sprocket adaptor and sprockets. He can make about and size you would need. His work is top notch. |

| | Re: Better motor mounts Are you a welder? Do you have metal fabrication skillls? If yes, make them yourself. Mounts are not hard to make but some talent and imagination is involved. If you're not comfortable with doing them yourself then the advice above is good. Check out Creative Engineering for an installation kit that will make motor mounting easy and secure.

| | Re: Better motor mounts I have the skills just lack the tools and I have already ordered the clutch kit and sprocket adapter from Jim. I guess I should query him about a motor mount  |

| | Re: Better motor mounts Yes, you can make them yourself if you have the tools, and they can have rubber isolation points to all but remove the engine's 'nad rattling harmonic vibrations from the frame. I'm designing a prototype set out of steel for the new bobber frame I am producing. These will also swivel, so this way you can "clock" the engine exactly where you want it. Eventually, once the frames start selling, this motor mount design will be machined out of aluminum. Much less work for me.
