richard the go kart frame the engine came from is 8g and 10g steel and you want 1/4'' tubing ? are you driving throw walls ?
the go kart frame was able to take full drag lucnchs till i slid in to that curb 140kph one day lol
its only 100hp it has a lot of twisting force to the left but as for twisting the force up its not going to be bending frames even bicycle frames if braced proper, make sure the engine is the load spiter across all of the mounts and there won't be much force.
if you want you can cut the old engine mounts i made off the cart if you grind the weld off after

that uhh... sounds like a good way to get killed :-\ not trying to sound pessimistic, I'm a big fan of speed myself, but 60kph is kinda crazy for me on a bicycle, I feel 80-100 would be pushing it, but you want to take 100hp off of a 250-500lb frame... and put it on a 75lb bike (or... trike)? That'd be a **** of a rush.

Crazy man crazy!! And I thought 200cc's is pretty much max for a bike......it really is! Nutz if ya ask me.....
I had it in a rotax sifter cart frame.
its a 04 cbr600 engine
i use to just boot the thing around town at wot in evergear and the tire turn round like rc tires but not to that extream but pretty dam round
one day i was sliding around a bend and went to far then counter steard and pinned it and i smashed a curb at 140 and bent the frame soo...... also the engine has some bigend rod problems, it has a slight kocking at idea and the vavles have bin shimed so many time from over reving and beating the **** out of it
it still runs great but needs:
crank rebuild
gasket set
seal kit
and just cause its apart why get some pistons and rings and check all the barring
im going to far
im giving him a good running power full engine with perfect conpression for his trike
Can hardly be a high performance tips for bicycle engines, Feels more like a crazy build, that will never be built.
If it is built, it should be below forum section Motorized Tandem, Trikes and Recumbents
