Sucks about the battery, but glad it wasn’t worse - Li-on batteries can do some damage. As for rectifier/charging, is there a Li-on specific one out there? Seem like you’d want some specific circuitry for that application. I took some pics and sent them over to ricks motor sports electronics. I don’t really have a make and model so they said send pics and your config info. She said be sure to include that it’s a lith ion battery because that makes it different . I spoke to the battery manufacturer and he said it should work as is on modern motorcycles. I told him what I had and said my rectifier was from China and $20. He said that could be a problem . |

I learned some things today.
A battery can’t ruin a reg/rec but a reg/rec can ruin a battery
The Chinese reg/recs can work with a lith ion but it depends on how you ride. Little short hops, no big deal. 10 mile at WOT doing 70, you’ll have a problem.
There is an American company that designs and builds electrical stuff that works on the gy6 for lith ion.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the question “where can a get a good regulator?”
At ricks’s

Spoke to Ballistic and they gave me a 20% discount code that I could share. ASC2SR for 20% off.
I also found out that Ballistic was working with Rick's on those reg/recs. No wonder they recommend each other. So hopefully all this shit is going to work together.

I think the limit on a 12v Li-on is 15.4v. Anything above that, at least more than a short time, is a problem.
Thanks for the code!

Nice summary of your build! I've been searching through old photos deciding what to post here now that TR is gone. It is a nice trip down memory lane! I started a build thread for the CN250 swap version 3  . It should cover what I did in build 1 and 2. |

Insurance adjuster was out, looked at the bike and said I’m not going to have numbers for any of these parts. Looked through what needed to be fixed because it was either fire damaged or damaged by the extinguisher, she said just replace them and send receipts. Real cool. She saw the bike as a work of love and nothing in comparison to the price of a Harley.
They might end out paying out $600-$700 and that’s peanuts to them.

  “I know it’s American made, so my chest just swells with pride” Let’s just see how she works. Lith ion friendly. |

Damn, sorry to hear about the fire. At least you had a extinguisher to get things under control and good that you got through safe.
Getting close to being finished with my build, I'm iffy on putting my regulator in the batt box, so it could get more cool air. I'll probably put a fan on it to keep it cooler.

Getting close to being finished with my build, I'm iffy on putting my regulator in the batt box, so it could get more cool air. I'll probably put a fan on it to keep it cooler. They get warm but not too hot. The GET ECU was a big regulator with fins and stuff. I think when I mount this new one I’m going to put it on the old ECU mount on the left side of the BB. There is a hole in the BB on that one that side that the lines run through and it’s close to the holes in the front of the BB plastics. Where I had it before was totally away from all that stuff, even though I’ve been told it doesn’t matter. This time I’ll go with more of the way Honda would have intended. If you really want it to get air you can put it directly behind the holes in the front plastics and still have it it the box. |

But hear to being alert when you have an emergency:
I saw smoke and pulled over and switched it off. I looked around, and across the field I saw a bicycle shop. I figured they’d have metric Allen wrenches and a fire extinguisher. So I pushed the bike across the field, still burning and smoking, and ran in and asked to borrow the tools and the extinguisher, which they had. Then I shoved the extinguisher in the battery box (BB) and shot it a couple of times, and then took the BB off with the tools and shot it again.
Gotta keep your head and look for the help you can get in your surroundings. Can’t just let it burn down if you can help it.
Same thing in a wreck, get that bike up and off the road, make sure you aren’t hurt, and if you can get the fuck out of there before a cop shows up.

I put all my pieces on a GY6 plate made by extreme powder coaters. It's made to mount to where the OEM stuff sits. I was worried about a heat issue in the box as someone who did a ruckflex build already told me its a bad idea and to mount it under the seat, but at the least put a fan on it, if it'll be in the battery box. I never ran the motor and checked the rectifier to see how hot it got when it was on the Reflex, so I wasnt sure.  |

Some one was telling me about them but didn’t know where they were from. |

. It should cover what I did in build 1 and 2.
