Hi @hightechnature , I'll try and detail the epoxy fill/self tapping screw method a bit better here.
First you have to remove the rear fender, and position it bottom side up. Next clean up the holes in the plastic where the inserts were, removing any loose debris. I drilled a few small .05...
Matt has a real nice property to act as base camp, secluded (not that our electric bikes need that). It worked out good for our small group last time we got together.
The Erzberg firmware has been run on an A bike, so I suppose maybe it is possible. Not sure myself. Either way, you will be happier in the long run with the better version of Multitool.
You could also just try it on a different laptop first. You don’t really need anything special.
One thing though before you go any farther and that is I don’t think you can load SM FW on an R pack bike. I could be wrong.
I use a Hewlett-Packard 6634A 100v dc power supply to do whole modules. A 70v should get you to the point where the pack will charge if that is all you have, but if you have to buy something anyway, go 100v. Does not have to be a lipo specific unit.
As it is I’m likely going to hit Georgia in February, so if any of you guys down south or wherever want to meet up at one of those places at that time give me a holler. I’d also likely do a Northeast gathering summer 2021.
@privateer703 , check your travel time to either of those Georgia...
If there was an adequate location in the middle of the country that would be ideal, but to the best of my knowledge there are not many appealing options until you get closer to the coasts. If anyone has any interesting suggestions, please let us know.
My experience going to Florida and Georgia...

I took a bunch of video but never got around to editing any of it.
@Philip had the best video from the last lap of the 24...
The best part of an organized all electric ride is the looks you get when a group of silent bikes go whizzing by. Some of the reactions from our Tall Pines ride were great.
Unfortunately for me yes I have :(
One disclaimer is the spots I’m recommending are not going to be appropriate for organizing races, purely recreational. We could certainly organize a whole host of various rides of different types, but it would not be exactly what our original poster, Matt, was envisioning as far as racing.
I’m going to sound like a salesman on the Georgia locations but here is why;
Durhamtown;
-Rental cabins/RV’s for those without RV’s
-Full hook up RV sites including 50 amp sites (240v=fast charging)
-On site restaurant
-Pro shop
-Rental motorcycles/ATV’s/SXS’s for non Alta riding guests
-Fun...
You can count on me and the Mrs. to attend. There does seem to be a decent concentration of owners up your way Matt, so there is potential to do it in that area.
I think though to really draw a large group in on a national scale we need an appropriate facility. I have only ever been to two...
