08 Electric Varadero motor mount marking

[SirTragain]

If you made your two scribe marks 230mm apart then center radius (plural: radii) will be half the diameter at 115mm which could be verified by "X" making the spot; just drawing from upper left too lower right and upper right too lower left of the two perpendicular scribed lines.

Basically creating two right triangles with the X being the Hypotenuse of each respectively.

Cheers for the advice SirTragain. My marking system is a bit ad lib to say the least! :) Next motor mount that is made I will certainly be thinking a little more clearly on how to make it up. It works none the less! :) Glas you like the vids. I will try to get another done over the weekend if possible.

I used angle too, but it was steel.... weighs 13lbs right now... You can always improve it later. Its your first bike right? Mine too, and there's always room for improvement.

Yeah this is my first bike so I am looking for materials that I can work with easily at home. In the future I will use aluminum! I have another bike in the pipeline also but not giving away too much on it for the moment. :)

For my battery racks i used aluminum angle welded into boxes which were then formed into a battery tower with more angle. Then to hold the batteries steady i used a few large tie down straps.
