The post whore thread.

Got that bike running. Pretty fucking happy camper at the moment.

I'm sure it could use some going through, so I have no idea what the actual ride quality is. I guess I'll pony up for a battery, but $85 seems damn expensive for such a tiny battery. I need to talk to Grant about making a super capacitor pack instead.

Nice! Congrats!

Thanks, pretty soon I'll be the coolest guy in the neighborhood, within the category of "guys who just got their first girl bike."

If you're buying a battery, invest in a Battery Tender. Hate to see that $85 crap out by Feb.

I have a tender. I can get the battery on Amazon for $35, but with no acid. Is it cheap enough/easy enough to just fill the battery myself? If I'm filling the battery, can I just refill the current battery? I assume there is some kind of consumable that was used up.

With winter close go with a set of these. That will drop your sissy bike status, ASAP.


DO YA HEAR ME BRONZE, I'M THE ICE RIDER....................

I've currently been using the battery out of my chicken coop to try starting the bike. I just plug it back into the solar system to charge it back up, which is really nice.

Should I turn that DT400 into a cafe racer street bike?

Why not ?

I'll need to find out if I can upgrade the brakes.
