My Schwinn Jaguar Upgrade's

I made a new solid front motor mount/torque strap to replace orginal mount that required a hole drilled through my frame. Didn't use the stock kill switch that came with the kit. Instead I installed a toggle switch in my head light's case. Added a new super bright flashing tail light. Got rid of the stock chain tenisoner and went with a design I found on a thread here. I also installed a new adjustable aluminum kick stand. First picture is a before any upgrades. Hope you like it

Bike looks nice and clean.See ya found some nice blue paint to match.You could always paint that rear tank I'm selling blue! (just messin with ya)

MotoMagz
 
Thanks guy's
I think the paint is about as close to a perfect match as you can get for the stock Schwinn Jaguar Blue, thanks to skjjoe. The paint is Duplicolor Ford Royal Blue #34. Still thinking about your rack and tank MotoMagz thats why my tank isn't painted yet.
The upper part of the L bracket portion of my motor mount that is attached to the motor by two studs(replacing two of the case screws) works as a torque strap, keeping the motor from wanting to lean to its left when power is applied and reducing the stress on the other mounting studs.

Sorry I didn't have any good pictures of the tensioner handy at the time of this posting. I found directions on how to make it some place on this site I think, maybe another not sure. It's pretty easy to make and works great, and no worry of tensioner going into your spokes, it can't happen! It's made from a piece of 1/4" aluminum 4 electrical clamps with bolts nuts and lock washer's of course. I bought all the stuff at Home Depo for under 10 bucks and there was plenty aluminum left over to make three more. Just drill your 4 holes to mount it and drill about five holes a little larger than your stock tensioner's bolt for the adjusting slot and use a Ratail file to finnish your slot, you may want to round off the corners so there's no sharp edges, I did. Or better yet find the post I was talking about if you can, as he explan's it better than I can. Click on the pic's with your mouse for a larger view
