Congrats, Jason! Well done! And thank you for all the videos showing all the work that you put into this. You have really earned all these #1 plates!

You went with a heavier rear 66N spring than what I had, so you definitely should go with at least 5.4N/mm (0.55kg/mm) front springs. You are in an uncharted territory with these dampers and springs. I know people have run them before on Alta's, but you are using a different tuner, so this is...

This looks pretty good. Replace that front fender and it will look like a mini-Alta. What are the wheel sizes? I couldn't see any specs on their site.

The math shows that the Alta/Stark battery would become either 35 - 40 lbs lighter, or will have more than twice the capacity. This is huge. But as skeptics in the YouTube comments point out, battery tech breakthrough announcements happen fairly regularly, but we haven't seen them in...

UPDATE 2023-03-13: Apparently, Tesla Powerwall is now available for purchase without having to buy solar installation with it. $9,200 each. Additional units are just $8K each. And they already have a 5 kW 110/220V split phase inverter in it! There is also a 30% Federal tax credit for it, so...

I think they are still there. You are welcome! https://slavensracing.com/shop/shock-springs-straight-rate-linkage-ktm-125-450/

6.3 kg = 62 N. The conversion factor is 9.81. 6.6 kg = 65 N. You need a 65-260 spring with the WP internal diameters. I dug up my email records and this is what I bought from Slavens Racing (back in 2018, when they had these springs): Product Quantity Price Fork Springs WP48mm 44mm x...

Impressive machining and fabrication. I like it! The suspension choice is strange though. Front AER48 air fork but the rear shock is from an MX/EX. People usually try to get rid of the WP suspension components, but you bought them.

I see a nice place for a couple of cold beers where the gas tank was.

The specs are similar to all the DIY project bikes on this forum. I am thinking 15-20 minute motos should be okay. With 38 hp it is like the Alta MX/MXR in Mode 2 or 3.

@Azizi -- Looks like a lot of people will want to have a real motorcycle tire in the rear. If you allow people to specify the rear tire size at ordering, very few will choose 21". Will an 18" rear tire fit there width-wise to clear the swing arm and the chain?

The company's owner is my good buddy. He has been producing EV powertrains for various commercial vehicles for a few years already, and for the last two years this bike, a side-by-side, and a quad have been his projects. The motorcycle, the quad, and the side-by-side use the same swappable...

Ha! I think I will be reporting about this one pretty soon!

Which "extra weight" are you talking about? LOL! This is almost the lightest full-size bike around! Even if the battery were increased to 5.8 kWh, this bike would still be 30 lbs lighter than the Alta. How can this be?!! Where are those extra 30 lbs of fat on the Alta that we didn't know about?
