[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 27386, member: 433"] hello Phil, hello Dave, thank you very much for your pictures. regarding your pictures Dave we thought about cutting the tubes just underneath the gusset plate under the headstock and hang the enginefrom there. cutting the lower rails roughly in the middle so the engine is held by the rearmost lower bolt that originaly goes through the primary chaincase, the engine, the gearbox bracket(FT 104?) and then the big plate surrounding the gearbox. like that we could easily mount the engine with the crankshaft being 2 " lower than the ""usual fittment. Also the engine can be mounted further forward to help the weight distribution being closer to a standard 99 or Atlas Norton we just wonder about the looks of it. it should be similar to the MHR norvin, but this bike looks really odd, we are simply not sure if that is because of the crazy exhaust of the MHR or the missing downtubes. lets say it like this, will it still look like a Norvin without the downtubes? Will it look nice after all? [/QUOTE]
