New Style OCC Motor Mount

[Retmachinist]

My self, i'm not real fond of the OCC Chopper bikes, but it seems they are the main bike people want me to build for them. I have always built my own Motor Mounts, but decided to try something a little different on this one. The motor is totally isolated on HD rubber vibration dampners I purchased from Grainger Ind. Since the motor is mounted on center I built a short jack shaft set up in order to clear the back tire. The beauty of this is it will be very easy to change the gear ratio by just changing the small outside sprocket. One tooth will equal four on the back.
If it all works out it will be stripped back down on taken across town to the powder coating shop.

I like your design, let us know how it works out, please

I hope this works out.It looks like it will not have much movement because the chain that goes from the motor to the jackshaft is really short.

Really like the offset sprocket setup!
