So...i'm waiting for my head to come back from getting all done up and i'm finishing up the new electrical and i'm bored. So I thought I would throw my progress so far and see what feedback I get. The bike is a 06 750 that sat for the last 5 years while I was away playing army. When I got back home I had the great idea that I was going to convert the bike to an electric. A year ago I gutted it and there it sat while I tried to figure out the best battery configuration to use. The funny thing is that it took a year to accept that the batteries alone would be more than just upgrading the gas motor and messing with the looks of the bike. So in July I got the head off the bike and took it to APE to get a valve job and ported. I picked up a new set of cams that should be nice and started changing things cosmetically while I waited for the head to get finished.
I am toying with using the stock seat and just chopping it to fit. I got a cheap set of bar end mirrors to see how they look compared to the mirrors on there now, I think they will look better. The battery tray has been bolted back up so its not hanging anymore and I still need to straighten out the brake lines. The ignition cylinder is gone now so the forks and headlight area looks a lot cleaner. Last step is to finish up the wiring and get the motor put back in. The new electrical is a Motogadget M-Unit and M-Lock. One little digital control box replaces the whole wiring harness and the lock is a keyless ignition. I should have more pictures to upload this weekend and hopefully within a few weeks I can have dyno run footage. I was going to wait till I finished the project to post pictures and all that noise but like I said...i'm getting bored while waiting for the last part.
