That is a sick looking bike. I like the tidyness of having the buss bars vs the cabling on the pack. Are you planning on insulating them somehow? Would hate to see the sparking for an ill placed screwdriver.

I assume you hard wired in a charger? the dangling 3 prong cord might get in the way I think though. Would think a male 3 pronged receptacle would be ideal, but then again you may be wanting to take advantage of plugging in to a wall outlet no matter where you are and not having to hunt down a cord.
