Lithium ferrous...not Lithium ION | ||

Duc, A123 is the company that makes the battery cells, the same ones used in the electric drag bike Killacycle. A123 was recently competing with another company for the contract to make the batters for the Chevy Volt, but lost because they wouldn't be able to meet production demands  | ||

My friend has been making Emoli 123 packs for a while now. It's pretty easy if you can solder and use a glue gun and heat gun. There are a couple of different cell manufacturers. here is some stuff to read. http://teamkaputt.com/communityserver/forums/t/2.a spx http://www.slkelectronics.com/DeWalt/packs.htm You can buy here: http://www.modelelectronicscorp.com/view_products. php?tid=1&stid=2 http://www.maxamps.com/products.php?cat=62 I'm due for a battery. I think I'll put one together over the winter. I think the cheapest way to go is to buy a 36Volt pack and deconstuct it. | ||

Ulynut, I will be at Marcus sometime tomorrow. I am riding down to meet my cousin early in New Rochelle, then we are heading up to Marcus. | ||
| Ulynut |
Sorry Froggy, I just got back from the gym, and didn't see your post until now. I wont have time to hit Marcus today. Thanks for the invite though. | ||
| Froggy |
Noob you were the only one that didn't show up, bigger Buell turnout than usual | ||
| Ulynut |

Ok, now I'm pissed! The tv show (peoples court) doesn't want to try my case. I was ready to become a big star too! CRAP, I guess that means no fancy leathers anytime soon. Maybe the chicks on bikes thread will cheer me up. | ||
| Ducxl |
 I was looking forward to spending a few hours wiff youse.I got splief too.When you guys' do make it to Vanson,do not miss the local Lebanese bakery two blocks away from Vanson. Delicious ethnic food...."Maneesh"? Rich,i got your mail and am contemplating my battery requirements and wonder what the electrical leads from an ABC pack are like. I'll try calling tonight. | ||
| Doz |
Oh, I'm still going to the vanson open house Greg, just not to order anything new..not yet at least. So you still have a chance to show us around the neighborhood. | ||
| Ducxl |
Oh....we found out Vanson is NEXT week! Well...they are expecting the Danbury contingent NOW. Nice shop,which proudly manufactures right here in USA.Pretty decrepit old mill building though. Been awhile since i've been around that city.Used to know it REALLY well.Still can't get lost there.I had my bakeries confused.Vanson is down the "Globe".My bakery was down the "Flint" out of biz. We had some good french meat pies though while out there. Maybe we'll see you guys' next Saturday. | ||

Ducxl, You can put whatever leads on that you want. | ||

Good seein old friends, an BS'ing, Bikes Racing, Tracks, always a good way to spend a cool fall afternoon. Thanks for lunch. | ||
| Trac95ker |
It was good seein you. Great recommendation on lunch. Maybe I'll catch up to you at Loudon. The factory tour was cool. Vanson had some really awesome deals! I'm so glad I went! I can't believe I got a used Volante 1pc. for $140 | ||
| Doz |
Yes, definately worth the trip, wish I had more cash, but I'm very happy with the deal I got on my suit as well. You guys shoulda seen Danny H show up RIDING! It was friggin 20 degrees with a stiff wind and he was wearing a vented jacket--yup, same one he always wears! Amazing1 | ||

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!! | ||
| Doz |
Some of the nebo guys are talking of doing the NY IMS show...anybody around here going? | ||
| Ulynut |
I'm planning on riding down. | ||
| Froggy |
I plan on going. | ||

Hey kids, I recently moved back to CT (I'm in Derby...bout 10 mins NW of New Haven) from the Atlanta area... Thought about selling my '03 XB9S for a while, but the market sucks, so looks like I'll be keeping it. I'm a big lurker on BWB (I post more actively on BoRn, and sometimes NESR), but I'll try to get more involved on BWB during the chilly months! Bill | ||
| Doz |
Welcome back Bill, but you're gonna have to wait till spring when we all come out of hibernating | ||
| Froggy |
You people are hibernating? I am waiting for it to get cold so that way I have some down time for my Uly swap and suit alterations. | ||
| Ulynut |
Hibernate shibernate! | ||
| Ulynut |
Come on out, Bill. I'm right down the road in Stratford. Come to think of it, theres another Badwebber named Bill who lives in Stratford too! But I think he hides from me.  Lets ride to the IMS show.  | ||
| Doz |
I was actually referring to the many other buellers that are known to be in this area but seem to have disappeared or been very scarce this past year. And I'm sure there are plenty other newbies around that we have yet to hear from. | ||
| Nickcaro |
50/50 for me The Buell is in the garage for the winter. The Spyder is still on the road everyday. | ||
| Ulynut |
Sounds like you're getting your moneys worth out of that Spyder!! | ||
| Niceharleystuff |
We have $2 off coupons for the IMS show here at the shop. Be sure to pick one up the next time you stop by. Don't forget - show your Buell key or VIN at the Buell booth for a FREE limited edition Buell t-shirt. | ||
| Doz |
Thanks for the offer on those coupons, I'll stop by sometime this week, gotta get some other stuff anyway. Nothing says happy holidays like a couple plugs and some lube (please, no S&M jokes) | ||
| Bcool83 |
Hibernate? Bah! We've got a Polar Challenge going on over at http://www.bandofriders.net - ride at least 20 miles per week every week in December, Jan, and Feb, and you're entered in a drawing for a free Tony's Track Day. The Buell ain't gettin' put away! Ulynut, cool - I'm working (again) at Sikorsky, so probably not too far from you. Niceharley - does DHD give a discount for BWBers? My local HD dealer outside ATL gave us 10 or 15% off, I forget which... Just want to make sure I give my business to the "right" people  |
