Re-visiting this thread...

Just sold the 12r... Yeah, it took a year. And then I happened upon a very nice condition Honda cbr1100xx blackbird... Paid 2k for it, 99 model with 27k miles. Nice nbike, just a tich slower than the 12r but way smoother (dual balance shafts) and it is a bit more comfortable. Will be even better with taller bars and some foot peg brackets to increase the leg room.

Seems like the battery is on its way out, and this bike is very lacking in useable trunk space. So I will be whipping up a nice 4s3p a123 pack for it. I do need to put a meter on it and see if the stator is still working. Seems to go dead overnight, so it may just be a weak battery or some sort of parasitic draw. I already have the cells, picked up 3 6s1p packs a while back and I guess this is the best use I can think for them!

I will post up some pics, will have to wait till the following week as I am leaving from AZ on thurs morning. Vacation time!!! Just a few days, but I will be seeing an old friend and will enjoy the time away from work.
