| THe donor bike
is a Kawasaki ZZR600, it has been dropped at some point
in the past so the fairing's are not in the best condition.
|
|
At the moment
my intention is that once the conversion has been completed
it will look the same as the petrol version, but minus
the exhaust. Now to take it all apart.

My friend Matt giving the stripped
down bike a good degreasing and clean with the power
washer.
|
|
A pretty clean bike, ready for
the start of the conversion to electric power. |
|
|
|
The first job is to configure how
to fit the six cyclic 38Ah battery's. I have decided
on one at the bottom, two
in the middle and three at the top, this will leave just
enough room for the 72v DC Motor.

Speed Controller, Battery and Motor
support frames.

Inside of the fuel tank which is cut away to make room
for the battery's and speed controller.
|
|
The speed controller has been mounted
to a bracket which is bolted to the bikes 'HT Coil' mounts,
the isolating solenoid will also be bolted to this bracket,
just to it's
side.
|
|
|
|
The fuse shown is for the isolating
solenoid, as the solenoid runs of 12/ 24 volts, the power
for it comes from the last battery in the series. This
is a temporary measure.
