dnmun,
Yup that's right, the diamond plate bracket. It is a lot smaller now and attached to the chain guard, which is not in the picture above. The area where the hub attaches has a thicker plate of aluminum behind it. The chain guard also has a thicker strip of aluminum running from the bracket the the rear attachment point for it. It helps a lot, but there is still a fair amount of movement as the bracket is only attached at the top and there is a lot of leverage on it when you open the throttle quickly. I will most likely run a bracket to the frame at at the bottom of the bracket as well. This will stiffen up the bracket and allow me to run a chain guide for the motor drive chain to keep the chain out of the way of the rear brake. Little things, it's always the little things. Overall it is going well and is better than my first bike.
