Motor Mount ?

[Popeye]

I feel dumb asking this question, but I just can't figure out how the motor mount on my 84 300r build lines up. Can somebody post a picture showing their's mounted? I had it mocked up using the 83 one, before I figured out there was such a big difference between the two 2nd gen stuff. I don't have the shock or the motor yet- if that makes me look any less stupid lol. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure there's a difference between the 83 and 84 motor mount setup? I thought it was pretty much the exact same bike those two years. Could be wrong...

The mount, shock,linkage, and swingarm are all different between the 83 and 84. For some reason I had both set ups and had mocked up the 83, but my swingarm is an 84 so I went with it. The 84 is supposed to be better and it makes the back end sit lower than the 83. The 84 mount is more flared than the 83, the linkage has more curve to it, and the shock is longer. The 83 shock also has a threaded bolt hole where the 84 does not. I just can't figure out how the mount aligns. If I had my shock and bottom end already it would probably be easier to tell.
