Disagree? Bring it on. Have more to add? Feel free to set me straight. Unfortunately, Blogger doesn't do a great job of figuring out which Anonymous commenters are actually real people, not Russians or Chinese bots. Because of that, I don't accept anonymous posts.

That's at least 300 pounds in just the batteries! Bet it handles like shit.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to imagine getting out from under all of that battery acid in a tipover. You could be naked and more than a little uncomfortable, even if you fell over parking that thing, in about the time it takes to say, "How come I'm soaked? It's not raining."
ReplyDeleteThe picture is blurry, but it does say 'gel battery' on them, so no acid spillage.
DeleteAt least that's something.
DeleteI've seen a couple of Goldwing conversions over the years, but mostly the early 'naked' versions.
ReplyDeleteThis one is an example of the 'travelling science project' look that I hated so much and despite being such a vast bike, the builder has had to but two batteries in the absolute worst position up in the top-box.
If you want to see many more bad examples, plus a few good ones, then check ot the EValbum; http://www.evalbum.com/type/MTCY
There are some interesting examples of engineering on that page. Thanks Paul.
