My one most beloved site: MDL
As a tech enthusiast this site is undoubtedly the number 1 for practically all things tech related. Great people and top-notch info from basic to the most complex content.

Hi guys and gals.
Started gettin' cold as he** at night around here and got tired of unbolting/rebolting the battery to bring it indoors at night (battery is 3 years old and I thought that I could get another year out of it by doing so).
After several ideas I figured this would be the most reliable and lasting way to create a quick-connect (although not the prettiest ).
Had to trim out some of the battery well to fit it but it works perfect.
Although this is my first version; there is solder under the tape.
Tried browsing Harbor Freight, Lowes and Home Depot for options but bullet type connectors was all that was available: I find these types of connections to loosen and just did not want to have to tweak them every couple of weeks.
Any thoughts or comments?

At least 30,000.
Lots of people think I am full of Sh** but I swear it is true. I am constantly tweaking and tuning; along with oil changes. It is also the original battery and wiring: Although I have had to splice and solder many of them (wires) because of cracking and corrosion. The only thing I have lost is the right-hand-brake lever switch (which lights up the rear brake-light). Had to change the head light several times and the rear brake-light twice... two turn signal bulbs, three variators and 5 sets of rollers, 4 rear tires and three front tires. Five drive belts. Very rarely revved it over 8,000RMP and warmed it up for at least 1 minute before riding it under load.
Te plastics have had to be stitched with shoe-strings in a few places (will post a couple pics as soon as I can catch up with my tech-related stuff.
This is the top-end I purchased (not a sales pitch). Purchased over two years ago and still kickin'. I lapped the valves and everything else I could think of.... Ran only Rotella 15-40 since day 1.


Edit: All in all I figure I have over 40,000 miles on this bike. Only transportation I own and ride rain, shine, snow, sleet... whatever everyday. Maybe 44mm is a 63cc.... I really don't know as there is mixed opinions.?.?.? Any help with this displacement with accurate CCs on 44mm?

Ah. Maybe I should reread the thread. I get a bit turned 'round at times. Age and smoke, I reckon.
Thanks, geh.

Agreed: That particular area has little to no room for tolerance "play". A little "play" on one component could cause failure: "Play" on several components or the entire shaft-to-stator-and-flywheel is asking for a frustrating project.

Edit: Hopefully those pics are lying on ya....

Look between the yellow lines: Is the steel peeled back and/or mushroomed as it appears?
