1990 El Ninja 750

I live in a very rural area so I built with range in mind. That is why I decided to go with lithium. I don't think I could have gotten the range I needed with lead acid. As we all know lithium is more expensive and somewhat more complex but I am glad I spent the extra money to go that route. My only regret is that I scrimped on the doner as I had to spend alot of time and money to get her into shape.

Batteries: 
20 Thundersky 60 ah LFP
Charger: 
Cheap Yang Ming on board charger, BCO 6006BL balancing charger
Controller: 
Alltrax 7234
Conversion time and cost: 
About six to eight months. Ispent alot of time fixing up doner and waiting for batteries. Cost was about $6,000.00.

Not sure but I believe it is lighter than stock.

Direct chain drive, 14t drive 60t driven
Heater: 
California sun
