short work trip to Peosta, IA on the loop mix

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.

I think JB rides "stealth" so no one recognizes him.

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.

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