The gear on the rear wheel didn't have enough teeth for what we needed. I looked online, but it was impossible to find one that had the right amount of teeth and fit the bike. So, I bought one and made it work. Here's a picture of me grinding down some screws to make it fit in the frame.
Now that fabrication was finished we scraped the rust off and painted the metal. The cage almost looks like a stock piece.
So, we put the batteries back in and locked everything in.
I bought a 420 type chain online, but it was too short. So, I went to a local motorcycle dealer and bought some more. We added several more links and installed it. It almost looks like a real bike.
We are really close to finishing the project now. We connected the bms circuits across each of the batteries (a time consuming procedure). Unfortunately, Luke and I have each burned a circuit up and I bought some extras from the dealer. Tonight we added the electronics to the bike and started making the cables. We used 2 gauge welding wire.
This post wasn't exactly poetic, but I'm tired and the images speak more than I can. Another few hours of work and the bike will be ready for it's maiden voyage. When that happens I'll be sure to put up some video.
