almost done fabricating...

Added $3.00 flea market ape hangers. With the 16 inch apehangers...needed to extend my wiring

extended by 12 inches

Headlight bracket / extension was required since the headlight is so big

The cables need to be extended by 17 inches. Will send them out.

Stop light installed

Tank needs a bit more work, then ready for paint

The bike as it sits tonight

putting it back together.....

got my cables extended by 17 inches

The $3.00 flea market ape hangers had a bunch of paint overspray on it. It cleaned up great using paint stripper

Extended cables and wiring installed, ape hangers cleaned up and new classic grips installed. Not sure if I will leave the mirrors where you see them, or move them to each side on the bar.

I saw a picture of someone else that had mounted a bottle opener on their bike. I liked it. These pics were taken last week prior to painting the tank.

Painted the tank (rattle-can) and installed the fuel sight gauge

I won't be able to work on the bike for the next 3 to 4 weeks.....so I thought I'd do a little photo shoot. Basically, I need to put on the wheels/tires, headlight and tail light, then wire all lights and blinkers.... Hooked up a Dyna muffler.

It's just so unique. Those little touches like the sight gage on the tank and the bottle opener, they're KILLER. That little scooter is gonna be a real crowd pleaser. You're gonna get loads of attention everywhere you go.

while waiting on parts that are being powder coated, I got some graphics made.....

This bike build is in honor of my son (the bike was his first street bike back in 2007) who was killed in a plane crash. He walked this earth 9810 days...

Labeled my fuel sight gauge...

I designed the font on the sight gauge to match my sons favorite hat he wore while in high school...

I should be done the build in the next couple weeks. Just in time for riding season!

Do not use Lead/Acid Chargers". Did you have to do any mods to the charging system to use the antigravity lithium battery?

There shouldn't be any problem with the bikes charging system and the LiPo batteries. The issue is with modern battery chargers that have auto desulfinating circuits that will destroy a LiPo battery.

I would use a Buck converter for controlling LED voltage. The voltage goes up and down a bit on a charging system and can fry LEDs. https://www.ebay.com/p/Lm2596-Dc-dc-Buck-Converter-Step-Down-Module-Power-Sup... These are the bomb for running other DC voltages off a DC supply.

Worked on my rear turn signals. Converted them to LED. I'll add the resistors under the seat.

Looks like I missed a bit today. Glad Versey answered your LiPo question MadMike. I have a Lithium battery on another bike and have had no problems with the bike charging system....but, know that I can't use a standard trickle charger on the battery.

BayRider, I haven't finalized the wiring yet. I do have the resistors already just haven't hooked it all up (my taillight and headlight are at the powder coaters). How do these Buck convertors work? is it one per LED?
