Default Rotax engine craddle project

well it seems like we get all the crazy stuff around here... but it keeps my in business i think....

this customer drop off a half apart cart and a used i think 650 2 stroke pull start Rotax engine and said make it work.....

well i think im just mounting the engine and he'll to the rest..

this is what we have so far

1 1/2 round tubing kinda likw the V-twin style that we make....

at the same time we are making the engine craddle the same to run a V-Twin with leaf springs amd it will be a bolt in kit... not everybody is wanting a coil over rear suspension....

i hope in a couple of days we will have the heim and tran mount mounted

ill post pics as we go....
