[Caevlist] Another: [Free] Donor Motorcycle Available for EV Conversion

[Michael Everett]

I have another 'free to a good home' motorcycle EV project donor available.It's a YAM RD350LC with engine and exhaust already removed. Alsoa 'classic frame' that makes battery placement relatively easy. Modsinclude fork brace and braided stainless brake lines.Contact me off list if interested. Might be able to help with hauling.
While we're on the topic I also have a Prestolite 48 that was a pull fromPat Sweeney's US Electracar 'Leopard. The same motor type Bill Dube' used in his early drag vehicles. They're good to about 144V before you get arcing problems.Needs cleaning. $50

Hi Wes,

If you're interested in converting this bike, I have the knowledge, skills, and facilities to do the job. As I recall, this bike has a steel frame and a widely spaced spar design, making it easy to accommodate a good compliment of batteries. I'm concentrating mostly on  shaft drive, touring bikes right now. But if you're interested (or anyone else), a sport bike would be a fun project.

Regards, Glenn

Hi EV Enthusiasts,

I have a 1988 Suzuki Katana GSX600 that no longer wants to run. It is the first year the 600GSX was made and it has a classic look with a large frame for battery storage. I have previously converted a Yamaha 125cc to electric, and it requires some work to run properly again. I don’t have the time or equipment to convert  my Suzuki, but I would love to see it as an EV. I will put it up for sale or part it out if nobody wants it for an EV. I can send pictures or more details to anyone interested.

Best Wishes,
Wesley Atwood
