The Pingel Motor Mount Kit

I found one at Pingel online. It appears quite similar to the kosman kit. all of the plates are much thicker, and the spacers on the rear mount are therefore shorter.
With the exception of the two bolts on the right lower engine mount (the two that screw into the frame), all of the bolts are larger and most of the mounting holes have to be drilled out slightly to accomodate them. This is by no means onerous.
The only downside so far is the rear mount plates don't come the brackets attached to hold the rear brake light switch on the right and the battery box on the right. Minor quibbles, when I figure it out I'll add it to this post.
On the whole this seems like a nice upgrade to the chassis. WHen the bike is running, I'll post more of this review.

What's the thickness of the plates? I assume 3/8" or so?
Post pics when you get done!

I'm planning on buying some 6061-T6 plate and making my own using the stock mounts as templates. I have access to a mill, lathe, etc. so it shouldn't be all that difficult. Just have to source the hardware.

Here's what it looks like with an engine in the frame again.
The cases have been bead blasted and the cylinders sprayed black. Once I get around to it I'll bolt the head on and actually try to start it. Things fit pretty well. I had to struggle with only one bolt. The rest slid into place once I bored out the holes to the proper size.

Did you do the blasting yourself? If not, about how much $ did it set you back? :dry:
