You need to mount it, so that it will not hit that cross tube when the chain takes up slack. Remember every time you let off the throttle, the bottom side of the chain becomes tensioned. However I would have just welded some brackets on the front, or rear of that tube, and mounted the wheel solid, so that it would just keep the chain from eating the tube if it gets loose.
BTW What in the hell is that Comstar doing on that bike?
