Default Notice: Stretch Cruiser Mounts

Just wanted to say easiest way to mount on stretch cruiser was first brought to my attention,

by: RedB66 who suggested the (Simpson A24 Strong Ties) available for about $2.00 a piece at your local home improvement stores.

Will post more information soon.

Pic's attached show stretch cruiser I'm building for a customer using the RedB66 designed motor mounts!


Two (2) of the pic's are from RedB66 a black stretch cruiser he built for one of his customers!


RedB66 used heavy duty wheels on his build, however my customer requested that he wants to use the 68 spoke wheel.

I made big mistake on this build take my advice don't try it mounting a sprocket on a 68 spoke wheel took me about 6 hours to finally get it right.

Now I'm suffering from 68 spoke-finger-itis won't be able to shoot bow & arrows for a while after mounting sprocket to this 68 spoke wheel!!!

Peace Crazy Horse.

I have three (3) more stretch's in the pipeline, motor mounts are great thanks for the design RedB66!!!

BTW, these RedB66, designed motor mounts can be used for almost any frame tube large or small.

Peace Crazy Horse.

Just out of curiosity... why cant the engine be mouted to the seatpost tube using the factory mount, & one of these custom mounts only in the front???
It looks like it should work that way, & save yourself some chain???

Venice Motor Bikes, Why it's just personal preference also like moving motor forward for a more balanced look in the stretch cruiser frame big space to fill.

Thanks for the suggestion on saving some chain.

Peace Crazy Horse.

Those of you interested in using the RedB66 designed stretch cruiser motor mounts just e-mail me if you need more info or instructions regarding these motor mounts which can be used for other style frames than just stretch cruisers.

Peace Crazy Horse.

Capriottkid you have to put the simpson A-24 Strong ties in a vise to bend them I use 5lb hammer and the small piece sitting on top or rear motor mount is a piece of simpson A-24 strong tie that is hiding the factory semi-circle mount its where you could mount your motor to seat/down post.

As to where to buy the muffler clamps/bracket any auto parts store.

Hope this helps you.

Peace Crazy Horse.
