Alright I finally progressed passed the damn rear sprocket, I ended up custom fabricating a U clamp to hold the coaster brake, as the stock one was a little too thick and ended up hitting the sprocket, to add alittle more distance thanks to Venice I added about 5 washers on the inside that gave me the clearance that I needed for the chain. So everything is back on track now, but I need to figure out what to do with the front motor mount. I have seen some pretty good ideas but not sure where I want to go yet. My next biggest dilemma is the gas tank, I'm not sure how to mount it. I don't want to take the Phantom gas tank out as I think that's what gives the bike its style, so I need options and I cant find anyone that had the same problem that I have had. So if you have pictures or recommendations please post them here.

For the fuel tank - have you considered a rear mounted/under rack style tank? ThatsDax has got 'em: ENGINE_KIT_PARTS_PAGE_5 I thought about one for my latest project, but ended up makin' a tank.

For the front motor mount, I used a piece of angle steel and a chunk of 1"ID pipe welded together to make this (click pics to view);


Then there's bairdco's version for his Colson;

There's 2Door's welded tab & bushing;


joek's $2 front mount;

and no doubt many more I'm overlookin' lol
 
I havent seen anyone with the rear mount tank yet, anyone have one? In regards to the mount, it seems to me that the hockey puck seems to be in my scope of fabricating. But havent decided they all seem to be worthy of holding the motor in place.
