I got a set of these in the mail yesterday. I bought these because the pair me and my buddy were making were only half way done before actual work came in putting the mounts on the backburner. Figured I wouldnt wait any longer and ordered a set for my 58 Schwinn Vette.
Now im mounting these to a PK80, a stock run of the mill PK80. Both mounts fit the frame size perfectly.
The "T" part of the mount fits the rear of the PK80 block nicely, but the front "T" is not even close. I got ahold of Bikeberry and also called Jim from his website. Had to leave a message on his voicemail so im hoping he gets it soon before others run into the same problem.
I think the "T" (aka mounting plate), needs to be a little bigger for the front. I imagine Jim set the CNC machine to pump out so many mounting "T"s without accounting for possibly different engine sizes, or front mounting pad sizes? Its only about at 1/8th off, just enough so that it WONT work.
IS anyone else having this same issue as far as the front mount is concerned?
