Bolt On Spree-Dio swap Shock Mount SLOPE DISTANCE TESTER....

[richdavison34]

You have to do a bolt on spree/dio engine mount now.

I'm down for the challenge!!

I need some pics/specs. I have no idea how that mount needs to look. Is the idea to make your spree match the Dio mount, or to make the Dio mount match your spree?

P.S. I haven't forgotten about the grab bars.

frickin' awesome, dude.

don't forget to make your jigs!

I think the way to do it would be to get an elite motor mount and go from there.

Then basically replicate the piece with a smaller bushing-bushing length up front

That looks great

Hmmm. Anybody got pics of this?

Is there an offset that needs to be accounted for? I remember reading something about have a 1'' offset to one side or the other.

I think you should start with a spree mount and add to that.

Remember this should fit with out having to cut anything off the spree.

Also make it so the center stand can still be used

No one inch offset, that was my own stupidity on my build

I'm going to have to put my eyes on exactly how this needs to work.

The elite engine mount is the same as the elite "dio" engine mount, correct?

I pictured the mount as being a part of the lower crank case (non removeable). I have to assume that isn't correct.

When I go back to SIX's house, I'll see if he can show me an elite mount.

I am in the process of doing the engine swap right now, I could definately use one of those shock mounts Havent started on that yet still trying to get all the pieces for the motor, I got it at the salvage and it was missing a few key elements

[richdavison34]

Just let me know when you need one, and I can hook you up.

[Mystic]

I'm ready whenever you are. How much you charging? did you make it for use with the Spree shock or the elite shock? or does it even matter which lol

Lay your eyes on this.



This is the piece that is in the way.










So........yeah.....make a motor mount that fits, but with no cutting.
And remember to leave room for the center stand.

Great pics TJ!

The width needs to be cut down as well right? On the Elite mount that is.
