Hello all,
My first build was on a 20$ dollar pawn shop bike.... Instead of throwing money into a death trap of a bike, I baught a newer "used" bike that is in alot better shape.
The only problem now is trying to figure out how to mount the engine on the rear, as the bottom rear mount will have a larger frame tube.
The front tube is the same size as current bike, but the rear bottom tube mount will definately not fit.
Someone suggested to "sueeze" the frame's tube, but I don't like the sound of that.
Has anyone got a simple solution as to how to mount the rear/bottom engine to a larger frame than the kit will allow ?
Im thinking of just bolting a bracket to engine that is larger to accomodate the larger frame, then another larger bracket to hold it all together.
Any suggestions ?
