I Love Lists!

I was wondering what it would be and when it would happen. Know I know. And it's already a full blown obsession. Late nights spent searching for some bit of information or drawing up schematics or trying to read every post I can at numerous forums. Another love/hate relationship. It seems to be what I do.

Here is the latest version of "The Plan".
1. Fix the Harley.
2. Sell the complete engine/drive train. Use this money to finance the EV project.
3. Use Sportster chassis for the basis of electric motorcycle.
4. Build a 48V system.
5. Ride and experiment with the 48V system
6. Sell 48V parts to help finance a 72V or 96V system

#2 could be the sale of the complete bike. If so, obviously #3 would be a different bike. I figure it could be a year or more until I hit #6. I still have a lot to learn.

You may not know (or may not care) what these are, but here is a list of the components that I am currently thinking of getting. I want to use quality proven components but I am trying to do it on a budget of $2500. Nothing fancy with the ability to easily change components and use a higher voltage later on. As always, I promise to not necessarily do anything that I say that I might do. Or not.

1. Four - B and B 12V 50Ah AGM batteries (or similar)
2. Four - Supercharger Elite 7A battery charger
3. 400A, 48V main contactor
4. Magura throttle
5.Alltrax AXE4844 400A programmable motor speed controller
6. Mars ME0708 (aka ET-R) permanent magnet DC motor, 6hp cont./15hp peak
7. Cheap import DC-DC converter
8. Unknown meters as of yet. Maybe a Cycle Analyst.
9. Various relays, diodes, resistors, fuses, switches, cables, wires, connectors, tape, heat shrink, zip ties, solder, etc.
