I am unsure of how to correct it... ,it leans to the left, the drive side. Should I loosen certain sides and tighten other to get it to move the 2 or 3 mm to right more?
Thank you all.
Thank you all.
LOL, I hadn't thought of that ... actually if it were that easy I would not have to ask.Loosen the mount bolts and make it straight, tighten the bolts.
WOW! Can I get one of those...? I am dreaming... I love my new MB. I don't want to show the entire thing yet. As I want to start a thread on my completed MB. But here is my rear mounting setup, I just used the extra one that can in the kit. I wanted a better way to do it; it looks like you did!You didn't say what engine you're using but if it is a Chinese 2 stroke, in-frame I'm trying to picture how the stock engine mounts are working on a Jaguar frame. Because of the diameter and curvature of the down tube the front mount will require some form of fabrication to fit. Most cruiser style frames will not allow a bolt-in installation and need some work. The 2 strokes are designed to fit 'V' frame bikes. If your engine, assuming it is a 2 stroke, fits the Jag frame you have something unique. Did you drill the frame and use the kit mount? If so, is it possible you failed to center the hole? If possible please post a picture of your bike and the engine mounts so we can offer more help. I'll attach a picture of the front mount I built for my Jag.

The front mount works... idk what you are talking about...Theon,
Maybe I'm missing something here but I can't understand what you have done. It appears that there were two rear mounting blocks (spacers) in your kit and you have used both of them, stacked them end to end to achieve the reach you need to mount the motor in the frame. I have 3 kits and none of them came with 2 spacer blocks as yours apparently did. We need someone who has run across this to offer some advice. What did you do for the front mount? I know the semi-circular area at the front of your engine will not fit the Jaguar down tube. How is the engine mounted in front? Trying to help you here but need more information.

WOW... I attached the front but is that a common prob, or just a joke?Might it be leaning because the front is not attatched?
Hey man Thanks!Bill,
That would explain it. Have you heard anything about the newer kits coming with 2 spacers that apparently came with this man's kit? I'm wondering if this is the way they intended the engine to mount if they have indeed increased the diameter of the front mount to accommodate oversized cruiser frames. In view of the fact that he has the engine mounted, apparently solidly, I'm of the opinion that a slight misalignment may not be enough to be concerned with. Even if the motor leans a little, as long as his chain isn't hitting the clutch actuator cover and is reasonably aligned to the rear sprocket, I'll conclude that maybe he's good to go. Any other opinions?
