Not too bad... The only problem I've was the torque of sprocket nut...I didn't have any help and tighten this f**** nut was difficult. For routing the new wires I used a electric nylon wires routing tool to use the exact oem route... Also had problem with primary locking Jims tool, the teeth have crushed this tool I really hoped a better quality for jims...

Finished a 1400 mile trip today.
Met a friend in Mechanicsburg on Saturday and caught a flat track race (Awesome). Sunday rode to Asheville (through some of the worst weather I've ever rode/driven through). Monday headed over to Wheels through Time (Great place). Tuesday rode to Alexandria. Did the last leg this morning... It was epic.

Thanks glad it all worked out for you. I plan to convert my shovel to a CE 32 amp system so was just curious. What special tools do you need besides primary locking Jims tool

I've to say that this stator is the same as oem (ce 9100 22 amps).
Any special tool is not necesary, only a big socket for sprocket nut ( sorry but I don't remmenber well the size of this...maybe 1 1/8??), two torque wrenches and that's all... I used a electric impact tool for loose the sprocket nut, but the clutch nut is possible loose by hand.

Default Power Vision Flash

I just got my new power vision hooked up and right as the flash was finishing, it started to rain. Been wanting to do this ever since I put the breather and pipes on. It's a few years overdue soI guess a couple more hours won't kill me.

Low and lean, just like god* intended. I had enough of the Flyers chopper-esque turnback mini-apes. These are tracker high bars.
I'm finding this to be very slow work...still routing cables.



*disclaimer: I don't really believe in god as such.
