Since it will be well over a week before the replacement axle for my car arrives, I decided I should get my converted 1976 KZ400 running again. Very long story. In the mid-2000s I ran it with Pb acid batteries. Then I put NiCd batteries on it but never finished that traction pack change over. Then I got Li batteries, did a lot of work on it but stopped with only the low voltage wiring to complete. So, after literally decades, time to get the old bike running again since my car is in limp mode.

@elaterite That sounds really nice, I am a bit jealous of all you owning a bike, it's been ages since I had one.

@ambivalena As an electric it's really fast and fun. But with the old lead acid batteries you couldn't go very far, about 32km. With the lithium, at half the weight, I expect to get 80km or more!
