Need some ideas on how to mount this engine

Something like this would work for your setup.

How much would something like that cost? It looks like that might be my only option. The complete engine is 12 inches wide. What would you use to support that 9 inches on the left side of the bike?

As a metalworker, I'd say cut the frame, weld in a motor plate, get the plate down as low as possible, the lower the plate, the shorter the chainpath, and gyroscopic effect of motor minimized. A high mounted engine wants to ' torque ' the bike to one side during acceleration

Most 4 stroke guys do away with pedals, if you need them for legality, check out Graucho's photo collection . In my opinion, welding
[ brazing ] is needed to build a safe bike .

Never thought about "the lower the plate, the shorter the chainpath, and gyroscopic effect of motor minimized." Thanks. Looks like I'll do away with the pedals and find a good welder. You wouldn't happen to have a picture of what the motor plate should look like, would you?
