**5/9/11 CLICK **HERE** FOR UPDATE
**
So I've finally got around to taking some pictures of my project. The bike is a FELT MP cruiser bike model. I chose the S6-T Franco Morini Motori motor which is the 5.8 HP version (comes in 3, 5.8, 10hp varieties). I have used all the information gathered from these forums to make this project so I would like to thank everyone for indirectly helping me.
Currently I have mounted the motor using some custom mounts provided by DEAN at Pipelyne.
The motor mounts didn't fit at first but that was only because I didn't provide the correct measurements for Dean. After getting the mounts back I modified the front mount brackets so the motor would lean back a bit so I could fit the expansion pipe exhaust, which is also provided by Pipelyne.
I decided against putting fuel in the top tube due to the fact I wanted a higher capacity (steel frame FELT cruiser bikes are smaller in the top tube than aluminum versions) and decided on a spun aluminum tank by Coyote Gear (google it!). I mounted the smallest tank they offered from their website. The fuel petcock valve was a brass 1/4 NPC fitting and fuel filter was from a motor bike performance shop.
The tank much bigger than I thought ~ ~ at one gallon capacity.
I actually found working LED turn signals that have a running and brake light for 7-8 bucks from DEALEXTREME.com (spelling?) I'm going to route everything through the frame.
The chain drive was by Ridley Motorbikes. They offer fine made Felt Cruiser motorbicycles that use the china kits and retrofitted with custom mounts/chain tensioners/sprockets/engine covers, etc. I opted to purchase their CNC machined chain tensioner and rear sprocket.
I cut the fender so it would fit. Anyone know what I can line the cut portion of the fender with so it looks nice?
The throttle setup was fairly easy and last night (not pictured) i cut the grip off a china kit twist throttle and slid the stock cruiser bike grip over it (really really hard -_-) I mounted it all up last night and it looks good.
Currently I'm waiting for my front wheel back from the bike shop. I'm having the front hub relaced for a disk brake. Welding up some mounts wont be so hard will they?
I have lots of things left to do, like a wide crank kit (just waiting for sprocket), re-routing ALL wiring/THROTTLE through frame, and well everything else. Ill post more pictures when I have the disc brake mounted.

However I have to work out some leaks. The gasket that was supplied to me from Pipelyne is leaking like a sive and so are some welds on the exhaust. 
I want to do a larger sprocket so it would be more fun around town. It's a nice cruiser but I haven't done the disc brake mount yet. I almost want to do front drum brake so I dont have to weld into the fork.
