    How many want to keep the foot brake?

    I could, but I probably won't. I have an "oh $#!+ reflex" in my right foot but not in my right hand. If I jump with the front wheel too high up, or if something unexpected happens in front of me, I instinctively hit the rear brake.

    240V Inverter in a Van or Truck

    I realized today that I will not be using the Neutral wire on my 240V shore power input, ever. If I connect the 240V shore power the inverter has an automatic transfer switch, which will disconnect the inverter's output from the batteries and connect it to the shore power. This is all done...

    240V Inverter in a Van or Truck

    That's a good and useful advice here. Thank you, Mark. I did not think about using circuit breakers on 12V circuits. How to decide whether to use a circuit breaker or a fuse? I am having a hard time separating the 120V and 240V circuits because all of my 120V comes from the 240V legs. But I...

    240V Inverter in a Van or Truck

    Besides adding LiFePO4 batteries and an inverter, I am also converting my van into a camper van at the same time. I will be leaving a lot of unrelated projects for later, but the electrical system must be started off correctly from the beginning, else I will be re-doing it over and over. I am...

    New Battery Tech

    I've uses a simple water mist spray very successfully to cool my track day car's engine and oil. Just disabled the wipers and re-routed the windshield washer sprinklers to spray onto the radiator and oil cooler instead. Worked very well. My friend used his to spray-cool his front brakes. A...

    I hope Harley does not start producing Alta trikes.

    New Battery Tech

    Can we circulate coolant through the battery?

    I couldn't resist

    Nice race transporter! We were talking earlier that it would have been very nice to be able to charge the Alta from a Tesla. It will definitely be possible on the upcoming Tesla truck.

    New Battery Tech

    Sounds like these guys might need a marketing campaign to promote their new 3D printed batteries. I am recommending that they should put them to the ultimate test at the Erzberg Rodeo next year. @Judaslefourbe

    Squirrelly SM

    Yep. Alta is a much lighter bike, and there is almost no stabilizing effect of the flywheel. The only solution to increase the cornering stability is to powerslide! :cool:

    Alta started rolling out their sales by carefully selecting only the best dealers. But more customers wanted more dealers near them, so now anyone can become an Alta dealer. @Mark911, you should apply again!

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    The throttle tube should be closed at the end. If you tear the grip the dirt will go straight into the throttle. Also, an open end makes it very difficult to glue on grips.

    Installing Grips

    It's a really poor design. The throttle tube should be closed at the end. If you tear the grip the dirt will go straight into the throttle. I was careful and put the glue on the barrel and not inside the grip. It didn't work out as well as I hoped. Next time I will seal the end of the barrel...

    Find another dealer. Or ask a dealer on this forum. I am about to switch dealers. Luckily I have three to choose from. I tried to finally buy my rapid charger. My salesman keeps saying the manager would call me, but he never calls.

    This might be all the information that one needs, and should be able to get over the phone, before scheduling a trip to the dealer. Thank you.
