Nice to see your bikes and put a voice to your posts via podcast with grindz. Do you have any notes (or threads) regarding work with the Super V headset? Forks, triple tree, etc?

Thanks!

I bought the SuperV as a complete bike, so I haven't touched the front end other than to swap out the wheel. I think the fork has a 7" travel. I really like the adjustment on it to tighten it up for no heavy brake dive. I also like the no worries about somehow snapping the forks off at the crown like I do with a typical fork (as unwarranted as the concern may be), but the limited turning range of the handlebars comes into play when moving it around while off the bike. It also robs some of the space I would otherwise use when I put batts on the downtube.

Thanks John,

Those are beefy forks compared to the original SuperV headshok stuff. 'always looking for info about headsets and related parts for those bikes since that's what I'm now running with 9C kit.

Thanks for sharing the great work!

A couple naked shots of the SuperV to give you guys a better idea of what I'm working without the zip tied controller and test run battery placement clouding the issue.

Damn! That bike is going to haul ass! Torque monster!

hehehe. The copy I want to make will have swingarm room for my big hubbies including brake drum cover for mounting the blowers. Then I snag a controller like yours, and go to max voltage. That's over 2100rpm no load and a motor proven to handle current to make controllers cry when sealed, so imagine what it can handle actively blown.

Just because I'm missing the Death Race doesn't mean I can't still have fun.

Then of course there's my monster hubbie I picked up since you were here. 270mm diameter stator with 50mm of laminations. The factory 60V60A controller propels a 300lb lead pig scooter to 45mph, and with 150lb rider up 20% grades. That's the one with dual halls, which will give me a bit of a 2 speed due to the advance timing on the high speed set of halls. Imagine higher voltage and current on 100lb bike.
