OK Micargi Bike owners help me out please. The front bar of the frame is curved out on the Micargi which causes the engine mount to be to far away. I guess on the Huffys and schwinns the front bar is a straight bar in which I believe these engines are dry fitted for.. Does anyone have a solution to this and pictures would be great. I am racking my brains and I am stuck at this step Thanks so much. Rory

I had a similar issue with my Cranny build and used the mount kit that RunnerMike mentioned from SBP. There are a ton of different ways to orient the bracket and spacer combos to make it work.

When my frame cracked (at the seatpost, not the motor mount), on my new frame I just had a mount welded to the front. Only cost me $20 at a local exhaust shop and rock solid.

Thanks to everyone that posted a reply it was very helpful. I believe I finally found a solution using an aftermarket offset bracket and the u-bolt. Will post a pic when mounted.

There are some good suggestions for mounts above. This was my answer when I ran in to that problem on my Schwinn...
