Here is our second attempt of a motor mount.
The fist was a solid rod we welded parallel to the seat tube clamping the front engine mount to the down tube. The issue was it lowered the engine on the frame and the chain hit the casing. With a little bit of cursing the mount was cut and we fabricated this mount. It fits nicely and the chain moves freely.
We have decided to definitely go with the Halloween theme for this bicycle. Ideally we will get everything fabricated, mounted, and tested before we paint. After we ride it around the block several times we will disassemble everything down to the frame. It will be sand blasted before we paint.
We need to order some more parts.
A speedometer is one item I am looking for. We want a vintage looking speedometer, something different.
After we inspected some of the kit parts they will most likely end up in the garbage. The clutch lever is to short for my taste and the throttle / hand grips are definitely not going to fit our theme. They are flying eagle grips and look pretty cheesy.
