Title: short work trip to Peosta, IA on the loop mix
Post by: ratguzzi on October 31, 2016, 10:33:38 AM

My mix of parts looper is lightly packed for a short work trip. Need to visit a customer there early tomorrow morning.
Got a nice mix of northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin roads picked out.

Looks like a pleasant fall trip. When you get a minute, how about some pics of how you mounted that seat? Thanks.

It's just a harlie copy seat and all I did was file out the stock frame holes a little wider because the bolt center to center on the seat is about 10mm wider.

In the pic loaded and ready to go you have small battery installed but in the pic sans hard bags there's a big battery.

What's the story there.?

Thx.
Tom

I put a small lithium ion battery in because I needed to cut a hole in the battery pan for the "hand shifter"
