I have been following his a good bit.
I think I found a good donor bike. I've been talking with a guy on craigslist throughout the day today. He's located in Macon GA (About an hour and half away from me) and he has an old 1986 Honda VF500R for sale for $500...I'm actually almost tempted to just buy it and fix it at that price. He is selling it so low because he doesn't know much about bikes and said it needed a carb cleaning and some valve work done...if I can do that then this project is done and I have a new gas powered bike that gets somewhere in the realm of 50mpg according to some forums I've found talking about the bike.
If it's not fixable, then it looks like it's got a nice big chassis under the engine to hold a good bit of stuff like a motor and batteries.
I'll keep you guys updated on how the progress on that goes.
