Quick update (a month later!): Ran up to Big Bear this morning and met up with half a dozen buddies (all experienced riders; 5 on KTM's and 2 on Betas). and did a quick 60 mile loop. We started at Angelus Oaks and parked in the Post Office parking lot (here is a map of the route: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/5843-5837+Mountain+Home+Creek+Rd,+Angelus+Oaks,+CA+92305/34.1743469,-116.7534462/34.2259227,-116.813279/34.2218435,-116.8744405/34.2095353,-116.9447594/34.1520604,-116.9743162/@34.1333917,-117.0223399,12.25z/data=!4m23!4m22!1m5!1m1!1s0x80db4d5fd837e165:0xb219439251f59c9!2m2!1d-116.9824397!2d34.1483014!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-116.7685559!2d34.2156887!3s0x80db35342d9e47a7:0x66c18c514f1283c9!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-116.8395511!2d34.2238682!3s0x80c4b51e45240173:0x4a9f3b0208286c8a!1m0!1m0!1m0!3e0?hl=en&utm_medium=s2email&shorturl=1) Mostly fire roads, but some rocky sections (or maybe sections with rocks). My bike felt way more stable and planted, and I felt more confident than I ever have on this bike. I got to mess around in quite a bit of different terrain (I rode sweep and could goof around a bit at the back) and just had a ball. Extremely happy with the setup, George; thank you for doing the work. Where I liked the bike before, I absolutely love it now and can't wait to ride again!

71 at Torrey is impressive!

Just got back home; thank you, George! I'm gonna give it a rip up the street and see if I can find a little dirt to get into nearby; I am excited! Thank you again for everything!

Hmmm; just like it says in your title post 😳 I ain't real bright!

Welcome to the page! Where are you located?

My son dropped off an old golf cart some months ago and I've been putting it back together. These usually use a mess of lead batteries, which off gas, leak and generally make a mess and require a bunch of attention while giving a short usable life (3-5 years). With all of that in mind I have decided to go Lithium, and I currently have 2 packs from a 2015 Chevy Volt in the cart (48V, 100 aH, hooked up in parallel). My question: I cannot exceed 50.4 amps when charging, and my charger wants to finish charging around 65 amps. I do have a BMS on each battery and I am told that it will shut the charger off but I would like to find a way to limit the charger and have it shut down on its own without relying on the BMS; is this possible? The charger folks are reputable but these installations are not common, so I am trying to see if someone much smarter than me might have any suggestions. I've attached a couple of pics if it might help. Thanks gang. I know it is not motorcycle related but since we are from all walks of life and are mostly local I thought I would ask.

That looks awesome, Tom! They are a money pit (but what toy isn't?!) and have got extremely popular during the shutdown. On the golf cart page that I am on the flippers say they used to be able to buy carts coming off lease on the golf course by the dozens, and now they can't seem to find any anywhere (even CL) that are reasonable; just crazy. I worked on mine a little bit more yesterday and decided to put all the parts/pieces back on (I'll work around it to finish the wiring). I'm just trying to stay motivated

I remember you working on that, Tom. I contemplated putting in a gas engine that I have (spare for my 185S) but ended up with the Chevy Volt batteries cuz it seemed easier 😳 With the controller, bigger motor and Lithium I should be able to hit 30 MPH and do wheelies

I hope to have a SXS one day when we get to Utah, but I do agree that they are ruining "our" sport. Just like (my opinion) quads had a negative impact. I'm gonna sound like an old man here, but it ain't like it was when we were kids.....

It was a pretty roached out cart when I got it. I've been working on it slowly (money is one issue, some virus affecting getting parts is another). Here's a pic of when I got it and how it is sitting in the garage currently. The top and rest of the cart is sitting under a tarp until I get this %^$* wiring figured out!

Thank you, George. I should be able to bring the bike down one day next week. Would you please send me your address and/or contact info?

Congrats on getting a new teammate! I am not a guy that rides enough to test (but what a great offer!). I do appear to have blown forks (204 miles) in my 2019 and would prefer to have you look at them instead of having the shop look. Can you give me an idea of what these "Gobblers" would cost (PM if you prefer)? Thank you, and congrats again on the new addition!

I hate electrical and wiring the most! That said, I am putting 2 Chevy Volt Lithium batteries in a golf cart; WTH was I thinking?! Good for you for finding the culprit!

It appears that a good time was had by all; congrats on your anniversary!!

Personally, I am more of a "may I mambo dog faced through the banana patch" kinda guy......

Your command of the English language-the prose, the way the words trip off the page-is to be admired. One can only aspire to one day put similar thoughts to paper, creating a veritable cornucopia of imagery and mental stimulation. Well done, Sir!

No pics no proof!!!!!

Looks nice and shiny and ready for desert season!

What channel did you see him on, crfxer?

AWESOME!!!!!!

Made my heart sink

CED is right down the street from you as well; they may have something

I did what Kug suggests on my 500-whole different bike. Congrats on the new scoot!
