It's alive! well... kind of... my batteries are old and weak, I didn't realize that they were dead, so my motorcycle just crawled along, but there aren't any weird sounds, I like the feel of the throttle and it feels comfortable ridding it around.
I'm not sure if I can revive these batteries enough to make them work, they were at 10% state of charge based off voltage and I know lead acid batteries hate being discharged, so I'll cycle them a bit and see what happens!
And now for the PHOTOS!!! please remember that making it look pretty was not at the top of my list, everything bolts to this frame using stock mounts, it would take me about 3-4 hours to strip out the gas engine from another Honda CX 500 and install all of these electronics in to the new frame without any modifications to the frame.
Test fitting batteries... they fit!!! everything clears the frame.
wiring in the first few batteries
Ready to ride! as soon as the batteries come back to life... because of the dead batteries and now spending a week out of town, I don't have a clue how fast or far it will go.
