One thing I have learned in my travels is to always use a gussetting plate at the head tube. This will reinforce the frame so as to handle the increased stresses of motorizing a bicycle frame.
Also, rebuild your wheels with a minimum of .105" spokes for strength, I usually select the rear hub to be used, tear it down, clean it, drill out the holes for the larger diameter spokes, rebuild it, drill out the hoop I've selected, then pay way too much to have someone else custom build them into wheels (I'll learn this aspect soon enough so I'll be able to do it myself) for motorized application.
A comfortable saddle is also a must...
Also, What is the story with that massive Pile o' Parts picture? I'm seing some servi-cycle stuff in there as well as a lot of other cool stuff!!!
Take it easy and most of all HAVE FUN!
