Well my Chain tensioner finally stripped to the point of no return; I always hated that thing anyways.

So right now I have my Chain on a direct drive but the fame is a bit to short to get it as tight as I want it for a very smooth ride.

I am locking into spring loader tensoners but I do not want to buy anything since the lot of them well looking good are much to expensive; so I want to build my own to mount on the the engine itself and not have to weld anything onto the frame since I lack those kinds of tools.

Does anyone have any guides on this kind of thing?

I've seen a few but they are very vague and lacking of detail; but from what I have come to expect a lot of info on these engines, parts or mods are all extremely vague.

For now it works but if any one have any good info I would love to see it.

Thanks for you time guys! :D
 
shim(pack out) or grind the rear engine mount as required, as it is "loose" on the studs.

unless the chain is eating into the bike frame. check thats all good...
