Well I say go for it. Trial and error is a perfectly legitimate production method. Not the safest or most efficient.

I think he's coming from the fact that casting your own frame is a bad idea. Not only would it cost more than buying a second used Alta, you are very likely to develop cracking at the stem. Factory frames are probably made with 6061 custom extrusions then welded together. The welds at the...

Philip, did you disconnect the charger cable without turning the kill switch to the off position?

So I bust my ass to win a race and I get handed my trophy from some 50 year old events coordinator?? And we wonder why motor sports isn't popular here in the states.

And they're sure they won't have a shipping issue?? I thought that was one of the bigger hurdles for those trying to ship bikes to EU.

What?!? So now it's not even ok to kiss a podium girl even if she is your gf? Where is this country going.

I was able to find a spare kickstand bracket, not the complete Alta kickstand kit, just the bracket. I'm hoping an OEM replacement kickstand for a 2015 KTM will work with this bracket with some minor mods. If the OEM kickstand works with the bracket I will create a 3d model of it. Then anyone...

Where's the girl??

I don't have a battery to offer, but I'd be willing to donate to further this endeavor.

So does anyone think we should start attempting to get these circuit boards reverse engineered? I have a feeling this won't be the first time we have this issue.

Let's just say if we ever have a large Alta rally, let's not park them all in the same building directly next to each other. I would think this is a run-away battery situation?

While I like a free market system, if people think it's unfair the only other way to do it in my opinion is a lottery type system. There were still a few people willing to pay lot's of money for these parts, so odds are good that new listings will get that high if ebay is used again. If...

Parts compatibility is a topic discussed on many threads and the front fender was mentioned in many of them. Alta may have very well bought fenders from Acerbis and Polisport, we don't know. But I don't think it is AltaWest's job to figure that out for you. It's not like all he had was a...

Fantastic job to everyone who figured this out. Now where do we get the bike side cable again?

Really? By the dimensions shown on that page, center to center distance of those holders is 19.4, that is only 1.4mm in between cells. That looked as tight if not tighter than the pic on page 1 of this thread. I wonder how much bigger the completed honeycomb would be, maybe it's possible it...

There is another maker of honeycomb cell holders: vruzend holders

I have that same headlight mask, but the rubber mounting straps were almost 2" too short to fit around the fork tubes. I ended up making a mount out of aluminum angle. How did you get those straps on?

Any news on whether we'll be moved to a different class or get a new number?

It looks like you should start with baby steps... literally: Harley's Newest E-bike

What you really need to develop is a line of conversion kits. If I could take an old Honda or Kawi and buy a $4k or $5k drop in EV kit, now you make it available to more people. I agree with Judas, trying to start a company in a small market with many competitors is an extremely difficult endeavor.
