The strap hanger, put another one on the inside. That'll take up the space issue and you can remove several of those washers. You'll need shorter bolts, and use Blue Locktite.
After further research on the motor mounts, you will probably need to custom make them...Here is what is said about the motor mounts that are made for the BT80.
Take a look at how I did mine...I used a aircraft designed and rated "Adel" clamp to mount it...I had to drill another rear hole onto the chainguard to do this...You just need to learn how to "think out of the box" with these bikes...lol.
Thanks a million, I've got a kit with different sizes of those I bought to hold wires and wire loom to the frame of my go-kart, I'll go find them and have them on. I'll probably do it tomorrow though, I've got to get a chain link breaker before I get too far ahead of myself.
Take note that where you see the "Adel" clamp, I also used tin snips to cut off a bit of that top piece of metal off and out of my way so it would fit properly with the bulge of the clamp being there.
I am weary of the guard being fragile, however I am wanting to build my own eventually. But the gaurd is going on mainly to protect from weather, my bike gets stored under a carport, which gathers condensation that drips on my bike. I wear slip on shoes most of the time so I removed the chain gaurd from the pedals, but my chain rusted very quickly.People keep talking about this guard for the chain. Still no idea what it is...
I kid, of course, but I don't really trust the guards that come in the kit. The reason I don't run one is because.the first time I built a bike the stupid thing broke off thanks to the insanely xcheap thin metal being brittle. Cut my rear tire and tube at 30mph. Supposedly, there are good/better ones out there, but I have not tried one again.
That's a decent reason to leave guards on. I use the same chain wax on my bikes as I do my motorcycles and it is decent at repelling moisture. I will usually touch up my chains fairly regular as well. Quick wipe.down and a light re-spray if I have been riding in the weather. A cover of some sort is always a good idea if being left outside too. Keeps unfriendly eyes from seeing things as a bonus.
