The stereo amplifier capacitor are also heavier than a brick , literally and many of them are only 1.5 to 2 Farad.
They must be building car stereo caps using a cheaper poorer quality material that is bulkier/heavier.

Your bike capacitors do prove the concept works, I am curious if a solar panel would keep the caps charged ? and if so if having a flexible solar panel strapped down or attached with Velcro around the gas tank or fairing would provide enough energy?
