I found this very cool friction drive motor on C.L. Starts one pull, great condition but the mounting hardware on the bike side is missing, unfortunately. I have found some photos and a little info but i could really use some photos of the missing parts I have to reproduce. Does anyone own one of these, or know something about it? I found the owners manual online but the images were not much help. I have to get this thing fixed it would be so cool if i could find an old banana seat stingray. Thanks

Thank you the motor on eBay had several photos with views I had not found yet. I think I have the front and left mount mostly figured out. But there is supposed to be a pipe running across the back I don't have. I was hoping that someone had one and could tell me what it is for. If it is just to protect the motor when you lean it against a wall I could do without. Also I have not noticed a right hand mount in photos, am I correct in assuming there is not one? I am pretty happy with my new toy and can not wait to get on the road.
 
Did you ever get it figured out? I have one,and there is just a U shaped mount on the front( like a old car generator bracket ) and a plate that goes under the seat stays with bolts that clamp it to the stays.
The tube on the back is ( was just a aluminum tube that did nothing but hold a spring,and as you say a leaning post....awesome little motor............Curt

Thanks. I saw an old post you made about your motor and i was hoping you might see this. I made my mounting hardware as best I could from the photos I found but I don't think I have it right. I did get my bike machine mounted and i have been riding a lot but it would be nice if you could look it over and maybe fill me in some. It is a great little motor, the thing revs like a chainsaw. I will start a thread to share my photos.
 
The previous owner boggerd up the gas tank on mine but mounted a different one on it.
I found that the clamp on the seat stays seemed to get lose and the motor turns some. so my thoughts would be to find a aluminum piece and fit in the triangle area of the seat stays then drill holes and sandwitch it all together.
I have not done much with mine for a while but have made a full suspension bike for it with a seperate motor mount that will swing with the rear wheel as it goes up and down.
PM me your email and i can send you some pictures.............Curt
