4am today, before heading off to the gym I made this carbon axle tube (the one with the bearings in the ends) built around a section of the form I used to shape my swingarm.
Tonight, just finished making another carbon tube, this one 2" inside diameter, which will be the bushing eyes for the swingarm pivot. Made a down and dirty rotating drum around which I can wrap the carbon fiber. Tomorrow morning I'll see if I can separate the carbon without destroying the wooden drum, but if not, then I will have fun destroying a wooden drum too.![]()

......got my first battery box built! Getting closer!! Every step gets me more excited about getting that EV smile!!
And you can't tell, but the lexan cover is installed! Once I get everything lined up and installed in the bike, I will be cutting accesses for the wires.

Today I got out the dremel and cut off the battery box mounting brackets. Fit tested the Motor Controller and Contactor...controller needed to offset 1/4" to get better clearance under the frame tubes, but everything will fit nicely!
