Tinker Time ......

[David Bogle]

Hi Guys,
After fitting the motor and actually running the bike with your help I started " tinkering " as we do in our " man-caves " so my first project is to make a better clamp on the rear sprocket, NOT attaching to the spokes ... works perfect ... now the chain is touching the rear tire so I will install 9 small spacer bushings and longer bolts with lock-nuts including loctite ...

the Axel size will vary for your bike so diameter / with is variable
Then the 9 hole i did not specify PCD coz maybe different models have different PCD's and I just drilled the same as the sprocket .... easy as pie ...

The clamping I did not do 4 bolts, 2 was enough ....

Looks like I just found a new use for my harbor freight flat stock bender

I did not have time before to finish the bike properly, but now I made a new motor mount, it looks like it will work good, got a few more pictures for next week ...

Let's start why I had to make this:

The M6 bolts in the front of the motor broke off, the rear engine mounting M6 bolts were bent

So I extracted the 2 broken bolts and tapped all 4 mounting bolts to M8

And here is the end result
