I picked up my two golf cart motors for $100 and $150 cheap for 6.5" motors and they are all over the place!
But golf cart motors lack the bell housing on the drive end, so in making the drive end bearing support and shaft as a bolt on part.
While in making that motor end, why not make it fit a project, so that is what I did with my motorcycle, saves space, weight and Money.

I'm currently making some motor adaptors for the Honda cx500, next the Honda Shadow, but maybe you want a hybrid truck, or some other idea, why make a one off part?
