Hi folks,
New to here so thought I would say hello. I got myself a pretty awful $90 chinese morotized bike from banggood and I'm trying to fit it to a 18in Kona Hanana frame.I'd appreciate some advice - although I've managed to overcome some problems, I'm struggling with the chain rubbing on the rear forks. Here are some pics;
Had to 180 the cylender head - I understand this may reduce performance, but its the only way it would fit.

Had to get a Z shaped carb connector. Air filter still won't fit, but think I can 3d print one of those.

Had to use the mounting kit. This is as snug as I can get it

The main problem - The chain is going to rub on the upper part of the fork. I understand that the chain tensioner works from the bottom - can I get one on the top too to push the chain down? It only needs around 5mm more to get good clearance. Or can I position the smaller spoke closer towards the clutch?

Apologies if I've posted in the wrong place. If anyone has any good ideas, please let me know.
Thanks folks

Sorry NB, a moment of weakness.
