I did it as Ashman says re: the location of the engine in the frame ie as forward and as low as possible which for instance will enable you to remove and put back the cylinder head (almost) easily and provide enough room behind the engine for the carb(s) air filter, battery tray etc... + very good front and rear weight distribution.

I used dural (an alloy a bit stronger than plain alloy) to cut the plates, 8 mm thick, a bit of over killing re: mechanical strength but convenient to drill and thread holes when needed (eg : center stand spring attachment, footrests etc.).
