HELP mounting new engine!!

[oldguy387]

I just ordered a large mount from Sick Bikes and will alter it if needed. Their description is misleading as they state it goes to 1 5/8" and then say it is for down tubes up to 2". A big difference here, but I ordered one anyway. I will make my own from now on. Thanks guys, now just waiting for the motor to get here. Dale

When installing a engine, I never know where it will sit for best fit, so every build, I've made my own. Have never had a broken engine mount, let alone a stripped thread. Just make sure that the muffler clamp is not binding the engine from the tube. Some engines I want to sit high (chain guard clearance) I have to fabricate the front mount.

By the way..here are some ideas about mounting a engine. If the mount is too small take a pipe/PVC (the size of your down tube) and sandpaper and work on the mount.Wrap the paper and use as a rasp. Other ideas on here...
