hmm I have been tryin to figure it out but I wonder if there are some reasonably priced mounting hardware for this type of frame, I'm not sure if I can improvise an effective mount myself.

edit, may have worked something out.... maybe

This is a good solid way of doing it... I use 1/4" steel & 'U' bolts for the front, & if the rear mount is a little too big for the frame?, I cut a shim for it from some electrical conduit.

Hang in there, peppers. Keep reading and looking at what others have done then take some time, wonder around Ace hardware and see what you can find. Innovation is the fun in this hobby. If everything could be bolted together..where's the challenge in that?
Just keep in mind this important fact; The engine must be mounted solid to the frame. The more rigid the mount, the better off you'll be. Keep us posted on what you come up with.
Take a close look at the mount pictured by Venice Motorbikes. Very simple and easily duplicated. No special tools needed, no welding and the materials can be had from any hardware source.

Are you using the kit supplied chain tensioner? If tire/chain interference is the issue sometimes you can 'guide' the chain away from the tire with the tensioner wheel. You can also spread the rear fork with washers that might give you a litle more clearance. Keep us informed and we'll keep providing suggestions. A photo or two might help us see what you're up against.
