I wasn't happy with any mounts I could find, so I made my own. The exhaust clamps were crushing the tubing and still weren't tight enough.

I drilled the two bolt holes, countersunk the bolts with a drill bit, then used an end mill to get a flat countersink for the bolts to sit on. After that, I cut the mount to length in the dry cut saw, then split them with my jigsaw. After that, I bolted the two halves back together, drilled a 1/4" pilot hole, drilled a 7/8" hole, ran a .99" reamer (all I had) through to straighten the hole up, then finished it with a 1" bit. Since it had little to cut, and the reamer had made it round, the 1" bit still made a perfect hole.





It took a few versions, but I got the front mount done finally. It's adjustable, so the engine can be moved up and down to set chain tension.

Re: Aluminum ht/shift kit cruiser mounts.

That's some excellent quality work. I like the adjustability feature.
I'm sure the rest of that bike build will turn out mighty fine.

This is the kind of stuff that keeps me interested in being here.
Good job.
