Here she is all finished. I was originally going to mount packs to the frame, I still might. Its just that mounting it all is kind of tough and I will likely do it as a winter project instead of eat up all the precious summer/fall riding weather.... The 30Lb back pack is doing it for now.
Big thanks to Dave, customer service and support second to none! He was always willing and eager to help with any questions I had along the way. He helped me in fabbing up a custom mount. I sent him the specs and he machined it. I needed the right bracket to incoporate ISCG mounts for anchorage since the GT fury has a floating and moving BBshell relative to the frame as the susp pivots. This means the typical strap mech to hold the motor in place wouldn't work on this bike. I also needed some other holes for mounting the chain ring guides that I had fabbed ( modeled after the e thirteen kit thats stock on the bike.) The kit quality is great! I'm very happy with this purchase!
Goes like snot.
I have almost 20 years of motorcycle experience, street and some recreational road track, but this thing is a totally different beast. Still getting used to it.
The biggest difference Ive noticed is that it's much tougher riding it like a bike...ie bunny hopping, curb/log jumping- likely due to the throttle input that results. I'm thinking of swapping to a left side thumb throttle or installing a kill switch on/off button by the left thumb so that I can quickly cut throttle when I want to bunny hop or jump off a smaller obstacle and then quickly press it again to bring the throttle back to life. I'm just wondering how that would effect the CA, it might see it as a throttle fault and step in with a limit mode.....
Any ideas?
