Curt did you get that motor in yet? Is there any measurements I can help you with? It should be easy enough to get them from that stock frame but I have a lot of notes I can dig into if you need...

got the front downtube tacked in place today and the seatpost tube in place had to jack up the left side of the motor to get it to sit level side to side so i could tack the rear motormount in proper position i made a 1 inch hole in the seatpost tube and used a solid roundbar strait across witch moves the seatpost back a couple inches compared to stock frame they used to have that wierd boomerang shaped thing should make it easier to get the motor in once its been painted dam battery died in phone so i didnt get pics but i will monday . i also did the rear wishbone on the milling machine man i like how much better they fit when you do that . i still need to mess with the bottom rails to get a tighter fit to the front downtube and lower motor mounts then i can cut em to length and finnish the fit to the rear wishboneand the axl plates
