after much hair-tearing and cussin', too much time & too much money, i finally have all my decisions made.
here's my mock-up, i have some fabrication to do but it all fits nice.
same old "sabrina II"...with new shoes...moped drum hubs (i even have an entire extra set of brake parts)...10G 1.95 front/9G 2.2 rear...built to take a beating.
a 1000mile tanaka 40cc w/juice-box (and maybe exhaust work) 13T GEBE drive.
50oz saddlebag-tank & 1.25gal aux. tank
24v lighting: "raptor" headlight fairing (2x 24v/21w), basic tail/brakelight (24v LED "1157" and moped levers with brakelight switches), powered by a us pro-drive "currie" battery pack. i have the original charger, & much confidence in this basic sla-setup. the decent runtime will get me from charge to charge no problem i think.
i scored the bags as a set on the 'bay. between them & my large "alice" pack, i'll have plenty of room.
i'll take a shakedown run to mt. st. helens this fall...then in the spring i'm divin' in...gonna take my modest benefit-check & do things you usually need a big pension & a big vehicle to do. i plan to avail myself of this nation's wonderful park system, and i'll do a "koa" once in a while for laundry & such.
i won't be writing much about my build or travels, but i wanted to show you's how much i've learned after 4 years of read'read'readin' all the righteous info that's been shared here, and i also figured some of y'all would like to know that i'm gonna be just fine
