SO the tubes on my bicycle are to large for the mounts that came with the engine. I am looking into alternate mounts for both tubes. I order two alternate mounts from the eBay. The Photo is of the mount. If anyone would like to give me a better idea. I am open to all comments.

Personally I don't like that kind of mount. I feel it will have the tendency to rotate on the tubes. Although here is a fix for engine torque.

This will stop the engine from turning on the tube. I have had that problem on a few builds. Since I only torque to 50 inch pounds, this will stop it."></a>
Here are some ideas for mounts.

I had the same problem with large tubes. I made my own using a flat plate on the motor side and an auto muffler clamp around the tube and thru the flat plate. The clamp can go above or below the plate which would extend above or below the motor mount. Good grief doe that make any sense? I'll try to post a picture.
 
flat plate. holes drilled appropriately.




welded or brazed permanently to frame.

the best and most permanent solution.

everything thing else slips, dents, or is simply a compromise.


reduces vibration too.
:)
 
The more I read about this the more I think I may invest in a welder. I have not welded since high school. Any one know of a good site to brush up on stick welding?
 
stick welding is not the way to go with a bicycle.
you can do A LOT more with a wire feed welder in my opinion.
