Wow, that is really coming along well! I just got done reading everything front to back and am very impressed. I have had my bike (1982 xs400 maxim 5000 miles) for a little over a year and I am always looking for ideas and, after reading this, I have plenty of them. Thanks Cafedan and keep up the good work.

well yall... ive been pretty busy as of late. i built a back section to hold the battery that failed miserably. so now after testing a few ideas, this is what ive come up with so far. its a work in progress that is slowly molding and changing into what i want. i was able to fab up the rear battery placement this morning before work so i was able to drive her to work today. im running it with pods and headers only. will this ruin anything until i get the 2-1 i want?

in this one, i got the tail light all dialed in and working. this is funny as shit, i have the back brake working right now, but not hooked up to a brake light but, i do have the light wired on the front brake but dont have the caliper on yet. between the two i made it work today.

anyway, im getting closer and closer. still tons of work to do. oh i was was wondering if anyone has taken a molded seat and with fiberglass change it just a bit? if that makes sense. i want to make the front of the seat a bit narrower, it looks about 1 1/2 inches to wide. ill have to get a picture of that later.

battery looks massive, you don't need an engine just enter the TTZero race and use electric power

seriously looking dapper mate
