What's that you're using between the mount bracket and frame bar?
Just a very thin piece of rubber very much like a piece of old tire innertube.
Can you show me how it fits in the back?
Yep...lol...It's the one with the bolts on the bottom end of picture, NOT the Adel clamp that is higher up holding the front of the chain guard because I do not attach it to the engine as it is intended to because they always break off due to even the weakest vibration after awhile.
Notice i use bolts and NOT studs, studs always seem to break on me but the good American made bolts do not snap off...lol.
Looks like you have a different mounting bracket there too, did you use the big U-bolt?
NOPE, I used the normal rear mounting block that those bolts go through to attach to the bottm end.
I can't get it in any position that fits the back bar, the rounded part of the engine mounting area is too narrow
Judging from your picture, it looks more of an angle problem than a narrow problem.
The wheels that came on this bike are pure junk. Hyper sent me a replacement set that's even worse than the originals with a multi-speed rear wheel, told me I could wait for another replacement with no ETA or return the bike to Walmart for refund.
I will tell you what I have written many times in the forums for others...Do NOT use the wheels or coaster braking that comes with these bikes...ALL of them that come with these bikes are garbage...I bought my Hyper 5 years ago for the frame, not the wheels...I was one of the first here in the forums to use and recommend the Hyper steel frame for motorised use...If you look at the pictures I posted, I use a very specific type of mag wheel set up and use the disk brakes that the mags actually come with.
All of this is found in my tutorial of how I built mine.
Were miles away, but I bet our side of the railroad tracks are pretty similar. Before I found cranbrook in trash, I picked up a 74 schwinn world traveler & a 74-75 schwinn varsity people were throwing away, was going to build 1 of them, but long skinny front forks were scaring me. They can be...

Also,
@Gordy has elected to use regular type spoke rims on his bike, he will see this soon enough to tell you what he got and where he got it and what brake systems to use with his type of rims.
Here is a pic of his Hyper with the rims he bought to replace the crappy rims that come with the Hyper's.
Anyhoo.. what is the white wire actually for?
Nearly ever video I see on YouTube they cut it off, but what is it there for?
That was and still is someones stupid idea of a joke thinking that your gonna be able to run a lighting set of that wire whilst sharing that same electricity from the magneto and expect it to not effect the spark potential needed for the spark plug...lol.
Hope I answered most of the question to your satisfaction...lol...DAMIEN
