HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... WTF did i just do? I have the generator mounted onto the bike; it has a few slight vibration issues. I really feel like the muffler is causing a noise (separate from this project) that is really irking me. All the bolts are tight on it. But anyways, I used 2x2 green treated lumber to mount it; I will add some additional support tomorrow and then paint and eventually add a metal mount around that. Half the s**t on this bike is held on by electrical tape at the moment. It is only there to hold it in place while I figure out a more appropriate mount. The design for the fairings is also below. It actually looks pretty crap; the fenders I will paint. I don't know maybe a sports bike look don't look good on a cruiser. Tomorrow is last day of build spree; I will mount the batteries to the top tube, add additional support to the mount, try to take Cyclone off other bike again, and convert 84V charger to 42V.
If I cannot get the Cyclone off; apparently I need like $150 worth of parts if I can just get the motor off to put it on the new bike. But the new bike has derailleur issues and I am kinda sick of the mid drive chain and it fits great on the other bike. So, I might look to sell that bike and motor. That leaves me with the cruiser. It has a 500W hub which is like 20-22 mph top speed; super slow. I dont know what to do. 72V hub motors are ridiculously priced and my batteries can only be in 36 or 72V configurations. If I can sell the batteries and old bike for like $400-500 then I can buy a 1500W hub motor with a 52V battery (~500Wh) and work with that. Not sure if anyone would pay that for my Cyclone LOL.
