Motor Mount for Gen 1 Steel Hydroform Felt (MP)

justride · Apr 25, 2015

I recently picked up a Felt Hurley frame, and I'm thinking of throwing a 2 stroke on it. I've seen some very nice (and very spendy) options out there, but it seems they are designed for the aluminum frames.

What is the best option out there?

Thanks!

Throw a pic of the frame up here and we can help...

Thanks boxcar,

Here's a pic of the bike as of today. It has an appointment with some airplane stripper this weekend.

The down tube is 1 1/2in, and the seat tube is 1 1/8in. I see a lot of the kits for the AL Felt, and I know their down tube is 1 5/8...

KW Machine makes the best motor mounts for Felt bikes!!!
You'll need to make some shims for the front mount because Felt steel frames have a slightly smaller OD down tube than the aluminum frames, (which these mounts are made for).

That's a nice looking mount.
At $129 it better be.

The price is quite clearly $149
and they are really nice.
The mounts offset the motor to
allow the chain to clear fat tires.

Damn fat fingers. I guess I should proof read my posts more thoroughly...
Yea. it's an obvious off set mount.
Problem is at $150 it is in competition with a jack shaft kit.
A jack shaft will solve the tire clearance problem in a much cleaner manor than an off center-line motor arrangement . JMHO.

Yup, these should do it. I can easily shim it to work. A little cheaper than the Ridley's... Thanks!
