I have been offered a 08 Giant Simple for $50 and just got my engine today for what I though about modifying a full susp bike for. I just have to drive 3 hrs to pick it up. Any one use this frame any pics? Definately would be easier to mount the engine from the looks.

after deciding I hate the way the sprocket mount I bought a Manic Mech Spocket mount and sprocket and will just get the cables set up.

where did u get that front mount from?
Click to expand...

made it with an exhaust clamp. I had to make a slight redesign though. I used abigger clamp also so i could put the silicone tubing around the frame to absorb some vibration and protect the aluminum frame.
 
I have the same issue with an oversize aluminiun tube. What size clamp did you get? The one I have now won't allow to use a rubber tube to aid in vibration suppression.
 
the clamp is 2 1/4". I could probably use a 2" though. I ended up making a plate to offset the mount, so I could mount the enigine lower b/c the carb wouldn't fit.
 
is that a single, doulbe or triple wall aluminum....?i have a gary fisher, triple butted...put steel pipe around the frame, threaded it and drilled a clean hole thru both front and back mounts...so far so good..placed it high because of the mounts and i have no vibration...and the nuts stay put nothing loosens up...now isnt that strange...

no...i talked to them about a month ago and they said it would be about a month before they would be restocked...give them a call and give them a shove...Dennis
 
Where's the rear motor spacer? Or is there a reason you didn't use it? It looks like a nice bike. Sick Bike Parts sells expansion chambers too but I think they are sold out right now too.
