Here you go.
The front mount adapter that I made was two muffler clamps with a bridge in between.
I'll digress just a bit here to cover something important. You'll notice that I also wrapped that downtube in neoprene rubber. The consensus around here is pretty strongly toward the position that one should not (repeat, Not) use motor mount dampeners. There's some good reasons for this. I won't fill this thread with that. It can be found in other threads if you're interested.
I went ahead and did it, in this case, because I wanted to make sure that I filled the hole completely. I also didn't feel that it made much difference, again in this case, because I knew that I was going to be able to tighten those muffler clamps very solidly. But in general I agree with the notion that one shouldn't do it. So I recommend not doing it.
Anyway......back to the point........
The muffler clamps are bridged by a piece of steel that measured, I think,
1 1/4 or 1 1/2 wide by 1/8 thick. The actual motor mount studs passed through a piece of steel of the same dimensions that was mounted cross-wise to the muffler clamp bridge.
Now let me warn you against a mistake that I made. You can picture the place where the cross crosses the bridge. It's a square, right? 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 inches across.
I drilled one hole in the center of that square in order to bolt the cross to the bridge. It didn't seem like a problem. Until I ran the bike and found that the engine was actually able to pivot on that one point and lean over. That's bad. Causes all sorts of troubles. I shoulda' seen it coming. But I was thinking about other things.
I repaired that by sneaking in under there and adding a couple of small struts to stiffen that assembly.
But a much better way would be for you to, instead of drilling one hole in the center of that square, drill four holes near the corners. That engine won't pivot on that.
It was actually quite a good motor mount once I got the pivot problem sorted out. I've forgotten how much it raised my motor. Maybe you can get an idea from these pics. But it seems to me that it was well over an inch. I doubt if it was two inches. Somewhere in between, probably.
. The sprocket is to big. I read about getting longer stus for the mottor and using motor mounts but also read not to use motor mounts. Are there any other options or ways of mounting the motor higher ?and so it stretches to each part of the bike frame.
