MOPED ARMY

a brace? cool i guess.

I wish I had fancy machine stuff like you Mr Crack

Elliot, be not concerned with spacing i got it all on lock!

For those who dont know, these brackets take the load off yer head.

baby steps yall baby steps

but to what end? I don't get the point. Do you have an issue with head leak, because I haven't had a head leak in about two years?

I have to agree with Eliot. If you put any performance pieces on, like the clutch pulley, your engine will want to be aligned more to the left. Can mount that bracket on the other side?

_otherwise looks sweet, let us know what it helps

Zeke coulda used one of those. Zekeabecane alwayse getting head leeks from all the 21 jump street impressions he loved to do on freaking Gough St.

its true large shiny tech looking metal bits make bikes faster +1 for attaching it to the motor.

hey crackstar what if you made 2 other these and instead of using them to secure the head to the bottom end used them to mount the motor further forward or in a slightly different position. you would also then maybe have more carb room and be able to take the top end on and off w/o dropping the motor.

hell u might even make the whole ride alot smoother and by taking the mounting stress off the head improve overall motor strength as well. like a peugeot.

oh oh oh ok, so now that nu have the motor just hanging out there why not weld up the stud holes ont he bottom end and re tap them for somthing else.... like a puch polini kit, or a scooter kit, or an 80 metra.... or a 125cc pit bike top end!

do it, do it, do it

My guess is that they set up these cantilever set ups in hopes of moving the engine back in a certain way during variation, i guess tryin to keep everythin contained in those plastics

anybody...

yeah, the parallelogram linkages keep the motors essentially upright as they move. That keeps the carb in line with the airbox. (if you look at the pictures, you'll see accordion type bellows between the carbs and the airboxes) also it keeps the tuned pipes from swinging wildly. I know we have the ball type fittings for motobecanes and pugeots... but that sort of fitting only provides for smooth gas flow with the engine in one position.

I see no reason why you couldn't do it. It would definitely be the chance to use one of the cheaper, non pivoting type pipes.

On that particular example, I like the dogbone setup they have to work with the dopplar spring.

Thats exactly why I want to do it... cause I can....:)

but i am taking a few of the suggestions that elliot made

Finally stopped cutting plastic and was able to cut these mock ups a few minutes ago. After work I get to see If all my bolt holes line up! If it all fits right I'll post some better photos of it on the frame tonite
