You're not gonna get too far without a chain, pedals and a gas tank?

Custom 4-Stroke Bike Builder
now in the planning stages.
What is your opinion
My opinion is it looks like a lot of work and lots of things to iron out while building. It's cool though and I like builds that take some imagination and not just a kit engine thrown on a junker.
I just use a very simple approach when building my own personal rides. My race bike is just a highly modified HF 212cc 4-stroke with auto tranny stuffed into a completely stock Felt beach cruiser frame. Some fabrication involved but not too much.
chassis with respect to mount the engine (no chassis cut)

If you are asking if the frame was cut/stretched yes. The overall length on the engine is about 17". You just cant fit it to a common bike frame without cutting. About the only frame it will fit in to uncut is a stretch cruiser type. Check out some of CrazyHorses builds he uses this type frame.

I like your design for an off road motorbike, rambomart. Should provide a righteous power-to-weight ratio. Since your cub motor is 100cc, adding pedals still wouldn't make it street legal in most states.
You can get a 50cc cub motor with an integral pedal set if you need to be street legal.
However, as Scotto said, it is much easier to bolt a Briggs style motor into a beach cruiser frame if you are not a welder. There are plenty of such examples in the DIY/non-kit sub-forum on this site.
