Need Enging Mount FELT Bike

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT CAN CUSTOMIZED OR FABRICATE A MOTOR MOUNT FOR MY FELT BIKE? I NEED YOUR HELP!

I need a custom engine mount for my FELT bike so badly. I want to start off building my MB by doing it professionally RIGHT and mount the motor at level attitude. I have searched the net and so far have seen 2 vendors that sell the mounts that I want. But unfortunately they are not available at this time and still "work in progress".

1.) The first mount that I like is from Manic Mechanic. I am calling them every week and they keep on saying that their mounts are "almost" ready and to just constantly check their site for availability. It have been checking and calling them for since 4-5 weeks ago and still not available.

2.) The other is from AMPT (AMPT Bikes). I have sent them multiple e-mails coz no other way to contact them by phone and still no reply. The AMPT mounts looks sweeter than Manics but costly at $132.00. Finally, I posted a message directly on their site and finally AMPT responded and told me that their mount is coming soon (no date mentioned)....AGGHHH!

I am getting inpatient and frustrated to build this bike as I have it for 3 months now. Is there anybody out there that can customized or fabricate mounting brackets for my bike? similar to the two mounts I mentioned above. I am willing to shed extra dollars just for this. Please help, as winter is fast approaching and a possibility that I will not have much time to enjoy this bike.

Please see the attached BIKE specification and measurement. (All cruisers from FELT frame size are all the same). Any help is greatly appreciated.

I will use Skyhawk GT5 66 cc motor and 38T sprocket and adapter from MM

Other future Mods I am planning.
1.) Uprgraded Carburators with K&N style filters from Spooky Tooth
2.) Manic Mechanic intake manifold
3.) Sick Bike Parts custom exhaust

A quick & easy way to mount the engine in that bike is to use extra rear mounts to the front & rear... You will also need some metric "all thread".
Look close at the mounts on this bike... that's what I did on it.

These mounts are disigned for the Felt bikes with an offset to accommodate the larger tire.

Thanks RedB66...Yes I really want to get a hold of these mounts from AMPT. If you notice my first post above I was trying to contact them but unsuccessfull. I sent multiple e-mail to them so I can buy the mounts but they are not responding. I guess that there mounts is not for sale as of yet. The mounts may be "still work in progress" same with Manic Mechanic. By any chance do you have contact with AMPT? I am desperate to build this bike up, perhaps you know someone from AMPT? Thanks for the reply.

I built a Felt MP bike... All I had to do for the rear tire was use two rubber donuts between the spokes & sprocket. No engine offset was nessesary.
I don't have any extra engine mounts right now, but Dax might?

Question...what is a rubber donut? and where can I buy?

My bike would not be on the road save for Red's expertise....he's knows his stuff.....Where-as my build didn't require a mounting issue it did require an intake mod.....you're in good hands with Red....

Laters,
