I had to remove the top motor mount to mount my new tank on my bratstyle build. I have some ideas on making a new slimmer design, but was wondering if any has made one and could give me some ideas. I know some people remove it, but I want to leave it in since I plan to ride it alot. Thanks

i think that if you could weld a single piece top half to the bottom of the frame, then used spacers to fit the original bottom half or build new bottoms to match the new upper. the only problem might be the new upper might be to low to lift the engine up to clear the frame if you need to pull the engine. as far as riding you need the top mount. it will get squirrelly.
