So, I'm trying to figure out the best way to do an easy motor transition for my Laeger Hybrid frame.
I want to put a 250R motor back into it now that I'll be putting a GasGas motor in my HRE, however I want the ability to switch motors at will with simply changing motor mounts.
This is what I'm starting with.

This is the original idea I had which was to simply have a removable lower mount similar to a head stay.

However after testing some motors, I have found they are too far away to simply change 1 mount in the same position.

So my thoughts right now are leaning toward just going with 2 motors and having square tube at the bottom and having mounts similar to the KFX450. The mount would be bolted to the tube.
Sorry about the bad drawing but I think you can get the idea.

So if anybody has any design ideas, please share. In an ideal world I could mount any motor no matter what the position of the lower mount.
