The swing arm will have to be re-designed for the gas engine and a cover to hide it. I want it to be street legal and the DMV laws, here are a few, Gas powered is called "Slow moving vehicle (SMV) all lights and equipment plus 25MPH tops (yeah right). If electric 25MPH no DMV rules or insurance, can call mobility scooter. BUT! I am also thinking hide the gas motor and electric motor on the front wheel.View attachment 126510

Measurements for extending the swing arm 3" and then there is the sprocket that needs about 1" to the right. I do not want to have to go the jackshaft route...

New one will be 10"longer. 
I needed the old mount plate to see if the engine was going to clear everything, when the chain lines up it should clear the left rear tire by 1/2" and the right rear should clear by 1/4". Chain will be too close to the Disc and Caliper.

Sorry for the delays BUT, Health comes first(and the wife). Broken hip has healed 1"shorter in the left leg and they do not want to take out the hardware, constant pain, so much for my health...Sooo the brake time on this is over, back from the welder (again) made the swing arm longer for the gas engine, back to mockup...
