A Series of Tubes

Since this post deals mainly with the wiring of the bike, Luke advised the title of this post. For those of you who don't understand the reference, Interweb. It's somewhat ironic that Ted Stevens died while we were finishing off the "tubes".

Here's a video of me spinning the rear wheel for the first time.



Here are a couple videos with Luke and me riding for the first time.





Here's the bike with the kick stand added. Luke had to cut through the frame and attach it to the battery cage. Works great.



We put the fairings on last week and the bike looks almost stock. Check out the green LEDs on the bms on the batteries.




The motor gets hot if we run the bike too hard, so we added a pan under the bike to ram air up. It's a start, but it might need something else to run air across the motor and controller.

We are also trying to find the best location for the battery charging cable. We tried to take it out of the top of the tank. It is very cool, but it's a little cumbersome to get it out. So, we are still looking for a better solution. Maybe a retractable wheel or something.

Well, that's about it. Just little things now. Bought new tires, they're on back order. Looking forward to getting the bike registered and getting on the road.
