Ok, I had my bike up and running for a few weeks, but I've had some problems.

My rear studs are broken, and I've lost this piece:

My front studs are bent, and I will be replacing them also.

I don't like the way this is mounted, as it's not a flat fit.

I barely have any room to work with in the frame as it is, you can see how close the carburetor comes here:

I need suggestions for a better mounting setup. Suggestions for anything else are welcome too.

Well, I've got the studs changed, and I think I know what I'm going to do for the mount that will give me the clearance I need.

Should work out well enough, but I first need to find another one of these:


Need the 40mm, not the 48.

I'm actually thinking about not using any mounting modifications and just placing the motor directly on the frame. It's not a perfect fit, and leaves about 1/8 of a gap above the frame.

However, and feel free to tell me if this is a bad idea, I think if I took a clamp to the side of the frame and gave it a little squeeze it'd give me enough room to slide the motor mount onto the frame.

It's really very close to fitting as is.

Hey,

I found a good replacement bracket for the rear mount at AutoZone.



Fits good, no modifications needed at all. Little pricey ($5), but worth it. Far stronger than the original stock bracket that came with it.
