My first ngw. Views please?

Or put a small Lithium battery in the tail piece if it is still empty?

[BigDave]

Thanks, any input helps. It's all about the little details at the end!!!

Norbert beat me to it. Lithium in the tail piece. Nice nice build. excellent attention to detail, the welds are primo.

[BigDave]

The lithium battery can sit however you like? Sideways, laying down, upside down, is that right?

[ericheath]

Yes, any way you want. They are small and made of small batteries a little larger than a D cell. I have an eight cell on my 1200 and it spins it over easily. The manufacturers will want you to buy a 16 cell, almost double the cost.

Your bike looks great.

[BigDave]

Thanks and thanks for the info. Lithium looks like the way to go.

[BigDave]

Thanks ericheath, the lithium is going to fit perfectly in the tail piece, hopefully first test drive this week. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Like it a lot. l used a lithium battery on my CB400 build, laid on its side, and it worked great

I like the look! I did a bit of work on this build back in 2006. The owner calls it a tactical motorcycle.

Love the look but the seat makes me say OUCH! It's a prostate pounder for sure.

Which kind of lithium battery, Li Ion very narrow charge dischage requirements, LiPo less sensistive, LiFe not sure of.
Be aware when you change chemistries with batteries their charging/discharging characteristics vary. Li Ion does not like to be over charged hardly at all.

I do like the look of your bike sir, it is way cool!

[BigDave]

A couple of years later it looks like this!!!!!!

the rusty frame adds character..

[desertrefugee]

I love the bike. I do not love the rust.

[duke182]

It still looks good.
Do you get much ride time in?
