I would rather stay away from saddle bags. for one thing, it means you need to add two batteries, and I only need to fit one more.
My controller only supports up to 48 volts, so I max out at four batteries anyhow.
Since the cycle is working and registered, I don't have to worry about a state trooper inspection or anything. Maybe I could look at welding and bending the frame. I personally don't weld or have a welder. I would rather not pay a professional welder either.
Hmmm... which of my friends has a welder...
If I do any welding on this, I would also do up some real battery mounts at the same time then. Plenty of bed frames down at the local thrift store.
Now if I can locate a cheap 72V controller, I can add the 4th batt AND do saddle bags.
No I havent' checked the brushes lately. I will have to do that in the spring before I get riding again.
