| I have decided
to add an extra 12 volt battery (Bottom Left) to power
the isolating solenoid as well as the bikes lights etc,
this
meant
a total rewire. The bike remains dormant unless the ignition
key is on and the speed controller is activated by
the R/H side emergency on/off button as well as the side
stand switch.
|
|
I have used the
original dash, but blanked out the bits I will not be
using i.e. water temp, rpm counter and fuel level, although
I will be adding a volt meter at some stage, which will
be put in the fuel level location.

At some point in the past, when
the bike was dropped the majority of the scratches
were to the decals that covered the bike, with these
removed the scratch's disappear and the bike now
looks in fantastic condition.
|
|
When I get chance I will make some
new decals, just to make it look a little less plain. |
Phil recommended to me Peter and
Tony's motorcycle repair centre in Liverpool, they
gave the bike a quick once over
and a short time later I had an MOT. I would recommend
them to any one, cheers guys! Now to find some insurance. |
|
The Insurance company's that I
spoke to required that I should have a full bike license
because it's electric, even though it could be classed
as
a moped if restricted, in the UK any 16 year old
can ride a petrol moped on a provisional license! This
is a classic example of the B*ll Sh*t handed out by the
British
Government
about
it's green
policy's, all talk and no action. Unfortunately as I
don't have a UK bike license, the bike will have to be
sold,
been
fun making it though.
