We didn't get any pictures of Kent working because he was running around screaming at all of to get back to work the whole night.
:-o Any audio? :evil:
This is an interesting project. Details on the controller and charging system please.

Was the Corbin bike speed a record in a recognized class in the day? Do we need to add this record to the rulebook?

200lbs for the motor, 175lbs for the battery.
the only ev bike to run faster is Bill Dube's bike that ran 173mph 2 weekends ago
Hey Kent, this bike gonna have saddlebags, 8 track player and a cigarette lighter?
Hmmm, where have I heard that before? :wink:

Randy - Kent decided not to opt for the 8 track player, instead he will be installing a custom one off flux capacitor for time travel.

Any tricks you care to share on keeping the warpage to a minimum when welding the frame tubes.
you cant really see all of the clamps that go on the table to keep it from twisting.. the most important is keeping the steering stem and axle blocks fixtured....

Fascinating idea and build. Awaiting to hear how it runs.
In case you haven't already told us -- what's the projected ready-to-run weight of this bike? And - in the photos it looks like it's being built with very little ground clearance. Got a number in mind of how high above ground it'll be?

Send my regards to Kent and the rest of the gang -- I'm fascinated by the work you're doing here. And going down a new road, too -- looks dandy. Thanks most of all for keeping up with this build diary.
Thanks for the photos showing the clamps. Do you weld all around one joint or partial and come back later to weld some more and eventually finish after two or three or four partial welds to keep the temp input down? I'm trying to grasp the idea of welding each joint and keeping the temp input down to prevent warping. Or does the clamping the frame to the table keep the tubes from moving? If so I need a really big table to clamp the car to.
hey guys.... Dr Burns from San Diego state university stayed last night till 4am just to make sure everything was working ok.... we finally got the rear wheel to turn about 3 am and then stuck her on the dyno.... if my wife didnt start vacuming the floor this morning id probably still be sleeping.... no time to post pix right now cuz i gotta haul butt out to el mirage and hopefully make history today.......
cross yer eyes for us..kent
The reason it was so easy was because it wasn't anything to do with a Harley.
I've got video footage on his bike I will work on posting it

That's got to be one of the hardest launching door slammers I've ever seen. It's like a watermelon seed through your fingers.
