You are going to want to reinforce the swingarm mount. The factory swingarm shaft passed through the transmission to maintain a constant distance between the drive sprocket and the wheel, the swingarm to frame mounts allowed for some movement (to allow the rubber mounted motor/trans to move, thus lowering the vibration transferred to the chassis), which is going to cause you issues with belt/ chain slack. Source- I've built more than my fair share of choppers and custom Harleys.
You could replace the tachometer with an Ammeter gauge. It would tell you how much current is leaving the batteries at any given time, which is a similar sort of information as RPM.
@@gearbanginentertainment7476 It's an important bit of information because the user could then extrapolate from the immediate rate of discharge to determine how much longer they could ride for. For example, if you have 100ah of 72v batteries and you have a discharge rate of 100 amps, then you know you could ride for 1 hour. If you're discharging at 1000 amps, then you know you only have 6 minutes of ride time at that discharge rate.

It would be dope if the rear brake was regen on demand (provided it's possible/easy to do). For low speed manoeuvres, or holding the bike on a hill, the regen would _probably_ be sufficient.
In regards to disconnecting exoskeleton..... look up 'custom bicycle builders' or 'custom bicycle parts supply'. You can buy weldable lugs that will allow you to break apart the frame in an elegant way.
@@boomerhgt you're right. Salvaging a flooded Tesla? nope. V8 Tesla? nope. DIY Cyberquad? Nope. Electric conversion using Milwaukee batteries? Nope. Need I go on? get out of here with your trolling hate.
Looking Great! Replace RPM gauge with A) video monitor for a camera system. Toggles through or combines however many cameras you have. B) control gauge for the cooled or heated saddle bags you have. One saddle bag is cold for soda. The other saddle bag is hot for tacos. The gauge reads the temp of the left and right bags. And of course C) the Leenda/hot chick gauge. Maybe it’s a “thick” meter. Could work mom Dudes too, I suppose. LMK if you need help calibrating, though I think it’s a personal choice. But, since this is probably connected to one of the video cameras, it’s probably just a toggle option. Or, very simply, you make a bracket and holder their for your phone with a charging cable that runs from the radio, but then your phone’s screen is your GPS in a very good place for vision. But also if you are using Car Play, you can control the apps from a higher position. But would have to swap sides with the Speedo so can use left hand.
Steven’s uncanny resemblance to Kenny Rogers is incredible. “You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done” Maybe a recoreder version is possible??
You could probably implement the tachometer idea with a traditional electronic input tach by reading a single phase pulse off of the three phase motor. If the donor bike uses wasted spark and the tach looks for two impulses per revolution, I'd find a way to read hall signals or outputs off of two out of three phases. From there I'd time the tach 12V impulses each time the phases fire, netting you a mostly correct two per fires revolution. The extra 60* phase offset (lateness) of the second pulse should be smoothed out by the tach itself. Pretty sure the stock Harley ignition timing between cylinders is also offset and wonky. Good luck! I always wanted to do a build like this. Can't wait to see what you do!

as a man who has a 22 cvo, its my 7th harley, the gauge needs to be a analog clock. i determine weather a vehicle is luxurious or not by the type of clock it has. also run Tee bars with 7/8ths bars. it will feel lighter. make sure it stays below 30 inches wide. it should fit your throttle if its 22mil
Voltage will be equal among the battery packs if wired in Parallel. So separate volt meters is useless in that case. If they read differently, it’s due to being slightly out of calibration or voltage drop in the connections and the numbers won’t tell you anything. Even if one battery pack goes bad, you won’t see it with everything connected, the voltage will change across all packs. A series connection between packs is where you could/would benefit from separate meters on each pack, to ensure they’re balanced, which is only a thing for series connections, not parallel. You could do a separate ammeter for each pack though. Then if the resistance of one pack changes you should be able to see a change in the amperage output. And then the last gauge could be the total amperage output. Or better yet, remaining battery capacity.
There is a rollcage clamp/adapter which sits “inline”with the tubing. Itll permit a secure install to provide support, make the frame removable and look sick.
AWSOME build! I sure hope they get the pivot point correct for the drive belt so that the belt doesn’t go slack when they hit bumps. Hopefully they remove the rear shocks and cycle the suspension after it’s all bolted together and check the belt stays tight. Should be fast when done! Good work.
You should use electric car battery modules like hyundai kona, chevy bolt, VW Golf for instance because they can have a lot of amps discharge. You will need a lot of amps discharge capability to be able move such a heavy bike. No way that cheap battery pack power battery pack is capable of 20kw Love the build. Hope that helps

I would still cut a disk off the end of the splined output shaft that fits your belt sprocket and drill the center adding a keyway. It would be the easiest way to get your output sprocket to fit. Drill and tap a hole on the end of the keyed output shaft to place a bolt and washer to hold it all. If need be, could even weld a washer to the shaft to act as a back stop so you could torque it down.
Presuming you can find a motor that can deliver the power you want, and it comes with a controller you can figure out, batteries are the hard part for an electric vehicle. Rich & Steven bought some top grade cells for this motorcycle. They only needed 4. That Studebaker's not huge so you could get 50 to 100 miles of range without breaking the bank and plenty more if you're smart with placement and want to pay more for more range.
@@Nphen Ya. All I really need is some basic fabrication skills. It would be really helpful to know how to weld on projects like these. But I have a worthless Triumph TR7 that I'm looking to do a cyberpunk style build with, so I can learn to weld on that car.
Its worth mentioning that 3ph motor could output 20kW of power for more than few seconds only if watercooled, if not it will out just 3-4kW continual... same thing will happen to 2. and 3. battery in sandwich if current draw exceeds certain treshold...
Bike looks better and better every episode, good job guys! Last gauge could be one that switches between different readings, for example have the AH used so you'd have a better idea of how much battery left, max watts or Amps used, amps or watts being used at the moment, could even have distance since last charge
This build is looking amazing so far... Really take my hat off to Steevaan (and yourself) for the amazing fabrication work and look of the bike. I didn't like Harleys until now...
Thank God I'm not your typical Harley owner. I've been riding for over 40 years and I've never dropped a bike (aside from when I used to ride dirt bikes) and now that I'm old and busted up and riding a trike, odds are I won't drop that. ;) Keep up the videos, I can't wait to see this thing on the road. I would love to see an electric cruiser or trike.
Rich, you and Stevón are an inspiration! I watch what you guys build and it really makes me want to get my creativity flowing and build something myself! You guys make it look so easy though I know it's not.
if the batteries are wired in parallel then your volt meters for each pack will always read the same lol. Also that contactor is a little sketchy; the point of the contactor is not to stop the big spark, you need a precharge circuit for that. the contactor is your disconnect so you can power down the vehicle.
The last gauge should be a timer counting down to the completion of the electric C4 Corvette. 80s optimism delivered by future tech. The Harley project is cool, but the Corvette is rad.
16:37 I'm a little confused, why would you have 4 individual gauges for the batteries? If the entire system runs at 72V, that means all of your 72V batteries are going to be paralleled & thus all the batteries will be at the same voltage (regardless of actual remaining capacity in each bank). To have this actually work the way you are wanting, you'd need individual current shunts on each of the battery banks prior to being joined together. That will allow you to actually measure how much energy has left each one of the batteries cumulatively (this is called coulomb counting). This is a pretty common feature baked into most smart BMSs now, but it looks like those packs you purchased probably don't feature such BMS that would allow you to precisely monitor the battery state. You could of course always retrofit a smart BMS into each bank, but that depends on your comfort level & how much effort you'd like to put into it.

Not meaning to be the pulley guy but I would recommend a different and better throttle. The throttle I recommend is the surron throttle which is also a three wire throttle that I highly recommend because you can put your own grips on it unlike the plastic throttle.
You guys should put a speaker system where the exhaust used to be and have it play Rich and Steven just shouting "bwa bwa bwa" because loud bikes save lives lol
It would be the same feeling as first start for dryer machine after repair. You know it will start, but don’t know if it will catch on fire 30 seconds later. With a car at least you can spot fuel and oil leak before a fire 😂
Stephon take that watch off ASAP around that high amperage!!! Safety first Stephon!!! Now back to the show stephon you are doing a stupendous job on this new project and Rich what can I say the dad who left us on the corner when we had to cross the street cause he wanted to drive his porsche🤣😂😂
I can't belive you stomped my idea of angling batteries forward and wrapping them with used chicken tinfoil,just like a real harleak, then you guys gain some legweight( water retention tablets, normally used by camels pre-trippin') so the not- rear cylinder can't be seen. Harleaks- that's hilarious and I just came up with it!
Replace that gargantuan instrument binnacle with a screen please. Google maps or Waze. On a bike, the only thing I want to know is where I am going and how much fuel is left. Everything else is a curiosity, not essential information. Why not just wire in a 10 inch waterproof GPS Tablet with Android Auto and Google maps? Get a sim card with no data limit and the world is your oyster. Accurate maps, speed and traffic instantly. Everything else as well, such a Zap maps, hotels your name it. Then you can see where you are going and where the traffic jams are ahead of you. Keep the range meter, ditch the rest of it. Fantastic build for many reasons. I love it.
The wallet thing was funny.. I've given so many people I know the wallet test question, no one will ever know my true thoughts... Their is no right or wrong answer on the wallet test.. it's just life..... Man I love taco bell but the last 10 years it has really changed in taste and quality...good job on the build gents
I've heard a rumor that Tesla installs a sound system and card in their cars that are sold in Norway, so people hear them coming. Now, as a model railroaded I can tell you that for years they've been putting very small sound systems and sound cards in the model locos to better imitate real life with loco sounds. Maybe you could put a similar system in the bike, with corresponding on/off switch, you you know, for shots and giggles. Anyway, great build, looking forward to more vids, as well as finding out how far per charge you can ride.
I think it would be cool if there is anyway to install a small screen where the tachometer was, that could be connected to a camera that is pointed behind you so you see while you are riding or stopped at a light, without having to turn your head and lose focus on whats in-front of you.. I know some people that have been rear ended while on motorcycles and have always thought that would be a good feature and could give a better view than a mirror.... Loving this project can't wait to see how it turns out.

Last gauge should really be an oil level gauge. Maybe make it display controller/motor temperature but it should still have an oil symbol on it.
Labeled “oil leaked” perhaps?
Labeled “oil leaked” perhaps?
agreed.. maybe controller and motor temperature
this guy's subscribers aren't very intelligent people are they
Just gut the RPM gauge, fill it full of oil and just have a sharpied red line across the middle that says "Oil Level" or something funny.
The DC converter should be placed somewhere the rider can get a burn from it for the full Harley experience.
I was thinking directly under the seat so you can get a toasty ass riding around on a nice day.
@@marthamryglod291 even better on a cold wet day
Gotta cover it with oil as well
High power linear regulator should get job done :D
The DC converter shouldn't get hot at all unless it's under rated
The last gauge should be an inclinometer, so you know exactly when you're going to tip over and drop it.
Because it's not a matter of if you do a wheelie the first time you ride an electric bike, it is how big the wheelie will be, or so I've been told!
Now that you have removed centrifugal force from this bike, this seems like a wise choice :)
That's a dope idea.
Maybe salvage an inclinometer out of an old Dodge Raider in the junkyard
You could replace the tachometer with an Ammeter gauge. It would tell you how much current is leaving the batteries at any given time, which is a similar sort of information as RPM.

That Brand New T-shirt tho.... Sheeeesh i didnt think you could top the CKY shirt and then you roll up in this.
"Greased Lightning" is looking good.
Put the batteries in their tray upside down for a clean top side. Might help with air cooling also.
If they put them upside down all of the currents will leak out
You two guys are hilarious together keep those videos coming
YEOO Steve with the Brand New T-shirt, I like it
The wallet thing was funny.. I've given so many people I know the wallet test question, no one will ever know my true thoughts... Their is no right or wrong answer on the wallet test.. it's just life..... Man I love taco bell but the last 10 years it has really changed in taste and quality...good job on the build gents
Would've been funny if you put the batteries in a "V" shape! 🤷🏽♂️
They should have done that. Still can...
I've heard a rumor that Tesla installs a sound system and card in their cars that are sold in Norway, so people hear them coming.
Now, as a model railroaded I can tell you that for years they've been putting very small sound systems and sound cards in the model locos to better imitate real life with loco sounds. Maybe you could put a similar system in the bike, with corresponding on/off switch, you you know, for shots and giggles.
Anyway, great build, looking forward to more vids, as well as finding out how far per charge you can ride.
Amazing build, love the design Steve-on.
Can’t wait to see what type of gauge your replace.
I hope it’s utility based!
When Rich ran from the dough/biscuit can, comedic genius. They make me nervous too.
Might be the most sponsors/company shoutouts I've seen in one video lmao. I counted 4
Congratulations Rich! This is coming along well.
I think it would be cool if there is anyway to install a small screen where the tachometer was, that could be connected to a camera that is pointed behind you so you see while you are riding or stopped at a light, without having to turn your head and lose focus on whats in-front of you.. I know some people that have been rear ended while on motorcycles and have always thought that would be a good feature and could give a better view than a mirror.... Loving this project can't wait to see how it turns out.
Every time rich past life as an IT guy comes up I get a laugh because it's subtle but makes perfect sense.
he wasnt it
Make the last gauge a rear view camera screen.
Insanely cool Rich and Stephon 👍
Two wire throttle system is ballsy
You guys are nuts!!! But lots of fun for me!!!
