Originally mounted Kelly KBL72201 was too weak regarding startup current, replaced with better suited Kelly KEB72801X to allow starting on any slope it can climb at 30km/h.
Controller mounted on 2mm thick aluminum plate instead of steel for better heat dissipation.

My first road legal high voltage system. I wanted a sport bike and worked very hard to make it undetectable as electric. This required very complicated battery racks, and most of my hours were spent locating and fabricating a battery rack. All factory body work was retained, and very few modifications to the body work. I sold my race car, and built 2 EV's. (The CBR and the electric Kawasaki 4 wheeler.)
