Italian Morini engines

[andyinchville1]

HI nathanl,

I think in a post somewhere else Easy Rider said he locked out the rear suspension (replaced the coil over shock with an adjustable eyelet bolt or something....if you look closely in the pic I think you can see it a bit)....

I am working on a similar bike as Easy Rider BUT I will be using the shifter kit so I can have a working suspension in the rear....Right now the bike is still just a bike (not motorized)....BUT man full suspension makes a world of difference....I can hardly wait to test it out!

and what about frame size? How small can I go? I'm looking at mounting the 5hp.

a 17" frame would go easily (at least on a happytime, these seem similarly sized), I'd imagine a 15" could but anything smaller would be to small, that's just from eyeballing it though. Easy Rider and his friends down at pipelyne ride them as well as fabricate mounts for them, I'm sure he could give you the definitive answer.

A 15" frame might be too small. These motors are wider than a HT so they need to be mounted a little higher to prevent the cranks from hitting the motor. Dean's bike is a 17" frame and its a little snug.

Is Pipelyne still making these morini engine mounts? If so what is their website?

Take a look at my bike, call Dean and he can make you some mounts.
