It don`t look like much, But after all this trial and error over the last year messing with bigger carbs, porting, setting the squish ect..tried useing a catnip cdi and I had been trying to get a stuffed g2 reed and 21mm pwk carb and than a smaller 19mm oko just couldn`t get ittuned right with it. Useing the 40 tooth sprocket i had lost 6mph with the bigger carbs and catnip cdi. I ended up going back to a ztmoto reed and bofang carb and reg, cdi. Now she`s back up there over 40mph rippen it for even more. A couple of thing i`m gonna change is the wheels. I have ordered a Phantom 85 kit (cant wait). The 36 tooth rag joint sprocket that comes with it. I am putting it on a set of black rims and spoke wheels thats going on this ride again. I`ll use the cnc 40 tooth sprocket with the 85 kit. I`m sure the catnip cdi coil and bigger carbs will come back into play later on. But besides mounting the back of the f2 better and a bag on the front to hide cable and carry tools, she almost done.
Will it ever be finished. Probably not..

Damn still might be worth doing it similar to you just cuz I have a green frame with a weird shape and regular mounts fit too loose

Did you make the hole with a hole saw? I would prefer to make my own rather than buy a "one size fits all"
I don't even have a hole saw...lol...Notice it is a put together clam shell type of affair...alot of file work there,,,This was really alot of just old fashioned hand work with a hand drill, a hand held circular saw for the main cutting and some files and round type big rasp type files for filing things for a custom fit.
My motor is solidly mounted and runs smooth with no vibration till you get above 8 grand and closer to 8500 all hell breaks loose and it felts i get shocked though my grips cause of what i take it as the crank needs balanced.
Mine used to do that too, until i made my front mount, vibration is now gone.
You would be surprised of how much vibration is caused just by lousy mountings.
The bicycle down tube is not round . It's oval on mine. I might just leave it and swap sprockets and put the 36 tooth on the phantom and put the 40 back on the zeda. I seldom find myself at that rpm on the phantom.
YEP, unless you custom make a mount to fit that tube, vibration will always be a problem with the kit type mount at the RPMs you just mentioned.

I have the same problem on the green frame it’s just not viable to use that Amazon mount since it’s also an oval but almost a flat peice of tube

I think it would come out pretty nice with a hole saw

Use a chunk of aluminum hole saw it cut it in halves, drill out holes on each side and make sure you have room on one of the sides on the mount for the swivel point on engine mounting point sounds easy enough once broken down
