I have been planning my lighting. I will have a headlight(LED) and two taillights. One LED round that fit nicely via a grommet in the end of each lower tube of the frame. But as much as I ride it I will not be running a charging system as I have opted for an open kicker similar to a factory Simplex style. So the lights will be battery operated but being all LED the current draw should be quite minimal. And this battery is awesome. It is rated for 6 amp hours and is capable of supplying 120CCA.  Measures 4" tall, 6" wide and 2" deep. Building a box for it and will use the bolt hole already in my engine mount on the slant just ahead of the engine. All of the wires are concealed except for right under the headlight itself. Question is do I make the battery box polished stainless or powder coat it like the rest of the bike.

Go for the BLING!!

Amazing they can pack that much in that small case .

For those that may have wondered.  The tallies are in!  Looks like this project broke the $4200 mark.  Don't know what that means about myself or the bike but that is the line in the sand. But hey, its either stainless, chrome and hi-octane or nothing!!!

[pd]

Ha . Seems to me that line in the sand can change in a wink .

Go for the Gold . After all , it's your happiness we're talking about .

Took the day off from work today to get my battery mounting bracket and newly configured brake pedal out to the powder coaters. Plus took the S2 around to a couple of guys that helped out along the way. Planning on going out to take some quality photos for the wall!  I have began the kicker set-up and now have to pick up some good material to make the kick part out of. It should function just as a Simplex kicker but have a twist of style to go along with the rest of the bike.  It looks like the sector gear works off of a 4 1/2 inch radius swing.

Based on what I've seen of your work in your posts, I'm sure the kicker will be as awesome looking as the rest of the bike.

My new brake pedal.  And then it was sooo nice!  Much easier to use with my heel on the footboard.

Looks like its workable.

The beginning of my kicker for the S2! Took one of Wayne's pinions and modified it to fit my Briggs crank. Treads are bigger on a Briggs so popped it in the lathe and opened it up to a 5/8 tread. I also bought his sector gear kit but will make my own kick pedal.

Tom I wish I knew you were looking for a pinion gear. I've got one that didnt have threads in it and I'm about to cut mine into two pieces. Oh well maybe next time. Do you still have those panels we were talking about. 

[Sonrisers]

Tom how is the battery project going? would like to see how you mount it, and how everything works.

I have the bracket powder coated and bolted on that it will sit on and also have the steel for the box plus some stainless perforated stuff to dress it up.  Just brought the steel to work today so I can cut it to size. Should be able to hide all of the wires.  I will be removing the engine to further the kicker set-up soon.
