diamondback-recoil-29er-mountain-bike and BBSHD build?
I want to to build a full suspension MT with a BBSHD. Looking for the perfect bike 
Anyone put a BBSHD on this bike? Looks tight for the battery pack.

Not sure where you would put a battery on that thing.
I do have one squezed into a small full suspension. I had small power dense battery created and put it in a small J&D frame bag...

You could put the battery in a backpack----the bike rides much better with less weight----feels more like a bike than a motorbike or a seatpost rack. With the BBSHD I am assuming you are going with a fairly big and heavy $500-600 battery pack.
I used to sell Diamond backs as a dealer. In that price range I would go with a 27.5+ bike in a hard tail which will give you room on the frame to mount the battery. The extra quality parts you get in that price range in a hard tail are worth it ----in my opinion----the 1000 watt power will add a lot of stress to the components.---You will get better brakes and front shock in a hard tail.
Have fun---I have a bbs02--on a old $1500 hard tail with a big battery. It is a lot of fun.
