This is where the Cyclecat design ones go through the frame. The other side of the replacement engine bolt appears through the plug in the back of your battery try (i.e. your battery needs moving and to be of a smaller size).

You can see how snugly they fit up against the frame lug.

Well imagine what happens when you get the stresses off a crach and the sideways motion on the bar as shown in my first pic.......YUP, you get that frame lug bent quite badly neccessitating complete removal and rewelding at an experienced frame shop....

Felix's off was at over 100mph and his lug was pretty mullered afterwards whereas I got away with my mine

Hence the Clutch and reinforced fairing theory......

Hope this helps...
