    Inverters (12V to 120V - 240V) and Step-Up Transformers (120V to 240V)

    Not sure about CE and UL certifications. There is an ISO9001 stickler and another small one with a royal crown. I have added the weights, check them out. I am not convinced that making this thing so huge and heavy was necessary.

    Not all inverters are created equal. Even though all of them are made in China. Left to right... Traveller, Tractor Supply US market 3000W 12V - 110V Modified sine wave 6 lbs $299 UKC, Banggood.com Chinese market 4000W 12V - 220V Modified sine wave 3 lbs $89 AIMS Power, Amazon.com US market...

    Speedometer/Odometer reads from motor shaft, NOT front wheel!!

    The MXR having a speedometer and an odometer is an extra that you do not get on other motocross bikes. The motocross industry standard is to have no speedometer. Honestly, I think there could have been no LCD display on the MX/MXR at all, if there was another more robust way to display the...

    Owner's Review Review after 500 miles on my MXR

    Cool. This is a interesting mounting location. Forgot to ask, why can't we hear the gas bike?

    Replacing Alta plastic

    You might want to order a plain white graphics kit to keep it this way. White plastic does not stay pure white for long.

    Speedometer/Odometer reads from motor shaft, NOT front wheel!!

    This is the cheapest way to measure the speed, no additional hardware is needed. There is no ABS on these bikes, so installing a wheel speed sensor and a wire harness to it would have cost extra money and would not have been appreciated by guys who do not watch their speedometers, or do not...

    Owner's Review Review after 500 miles on my MXR

    Cool video! I like this view from a bike mounted camera. The lower camera height makes the speed appear a little faster than the rider sees it, and the 60-degree lean angles look like from a Moto GP video!

    I think the two of you would have done just fine at Erzberg!

    Member Map

    I just installed it and I am still figuring out how to make it work better. Right now I cannot see every member on the map, and I can't even see myself. Once I figure out how to make it work better, and I will post an update here. Update after 2 days: More map pins popped up!

    Congrats to all Alta Owners! Last week our forum membership surpassed 100. Not a large number, but it will surely increase as Alta Motors keeps building and selling bikes. With that in mind, I thought I would find a way to make it easier to locate other Alta owners nearby. Introducing: Member...

    Tesla pickup truck

    Musk pre-sold a few hundred of those semi trucks already. One of the orders was 100 trucks, IIRC. Someone must need them, and probably not just for the cool or environmental reasons. They are already priced competitively compared to the semi trucks currently on the market. Very little...

    Handling fees?

    It was included when the Redshift cost $15K. With that, I'd say, a 240V generator should have been included!

    Re-springing a 2017 Alta Redshift MX (and then revalving too)

    It's a very popular KTM WP shock. It should be pretty robust, else everyone would have heard about it.

    Handling fees?

    There shouldn't be any such fees. I was an fool myself when one of the dealers added a "destination charge" on my invoice and I didn't question it. This is all BS. :poop:
