Just curious,

What's the height between the engine mounting plate and the bottom of the top tube (The one under the gas tanks)?

( Cartman ) SUPERSWEET !! (^) Couple O questions. What rear hub are you using? What's the hangy downy thingy on the rear axle?? is the extra lever on the R side of the handlebar something to do with the rear hub? AND is that a Sick Bikes freewheel setup on the peddle crank???? Loving this build and its coming together quick! Good job Moto!

Thanx.. Rear hub is a Sturmey 5 speed internal (5xrd I think)70mm drum.
Thing hanging is part of cable mount for hub,that is not hooked up yet.
Lever is a Turbo button...really it's a thumb throttle.
Yes SBP freewheel.

It's good waiting for good news. :)

On my 99cc build, I was having the same problem of the torque twisting and moving the shaft. I kept tightening the clamps, and it helped for awhile, and it started to get worse and worse. When I first took it apart, I found that the u-bolt started to marred into the paint. I tighten a little more without thinking about it. I kept tightening it up for awhile. It started to get worse,I took it apart and found that the seat tube was cringe. I think that's when it started to get worse progressively. I filled up the cringe location with some welding and that fixed it for about 60miles or so. I'm now on a different set up for the 212. Anyhow, the U-bolts had very little surface are to bite into the seat tube, and can easily twist/turn with the torque of the motor.

I know scotto has really good clamps that bite into the seat tube instead of cringing it like the set up I had.

Would you be able to connect it to your motor mounting plate?

Yep I know what you mean about damaging seat post tube.If I would have thought about it more the seat tube would have had a solid section. So I could class.l the bajesus out of it. Now I'm trying the clamp section on both side with bolts pulling them together.
My mount was made from a aluminum I beam.If you look a few pages back in this thread you will see some pictures.
