Yes she most defintely is. Biggest issue is she's a bit on the small side so I've got to figure a way to get her to more easily reach the shifter and footrests. Figure some extra seat to push her forward but not sure thatwill be enough. She and her son are coming for a visit first part of March so I'm not goinbg to tear it all aprt until then so that we can spend some time and hopefully work thru it.
Saw this set up on a FB page. Asked the author about it but he hasn't responded. Looks like controls for someone with a short leg reach tho

Did manage to test fit the starter unit to the bike and managed (for the most part) to keep the unit clean from all the grunge on the bike. Only pushes the front pipe out by the width of the mounting ring (1/2 inch). From the side and back it's hard to see that the front pipe is slightly outward. From the top looking down you can see it but tyhe end of the pipe ends just as that occurs so it should work out fine, Probaby most difficult part of the day was getting the five oil tank to fendr mounting bolts loosened as well as the four bolts holding the sissy bar in place. They were almost frozen in place. Fender needed to be out of the way for fitment and the cut on a bit. They include a template for cutting out a portion of the fender for clearance for the starter motor. Rear pipe is not aligned cuz I left out the correct spacer. Just trying to make sure everything fits as best they can. Kit also includes a longer kicker arm shaft (but isn't installed).

The battery cant take hi amps in 11 amps needs to be 4 or 5 - and the 14-9 lithium battery will go to is no good also
cycle electric does today make a low out put in both voltage and low amps - on my generator machine the low unit has 4 or 5 amps and 13.7 volts loaded in use
had 3 battery fires learning just that
the hard tail has a fender extension you will need what we did 2 different bikes - one the guy did not want to cut his original to the bike fender we bought a replica rear finder cut and welded the extension on and removed the welds - painted it and the. Real one same time in the pierce colors we copied - well at almost 400 a quart at 1 to 1 a 2 color bike is 1200 just the colors
then we swap meet bought another trans plate as they are special to the vintage in small changes - re pops from tedd is another way and they look the part - what has to happen is the rear extension piece from the 2 into the frame bolts needs to be removed and at an angle of the round for the starter to clear
original oil tank fits but you need the chopper battery box insert and we cut it up and house the ford type relay leaving the wires long so removed of the battery can happen with e machine assembled we also circuit brake the main wire to the ignition switch 20 amp works
i put a 1965 starter type button up on the bars - incorporate it into the wire harness and usually the front harness has a yellow or a red in the board that is not used civilian machine or add it for the button - it can be ground or hot your choice
What relay did you use instead of the one provided. Ford Relay? Part # on it. Wiring?
So the one hard line off the + side comes from your relay?
The two other red wires on the + side come (# 2 & #3) are from the hot side of the 30 amp and 15 amp fuses that I can see pictured. The other ends go to the hot position on the ignition switch and the starter button?
#1??????? from the ground wire on the starter
For the battery I ordered what looks to be the same as the on you've pictured Anti-Gravity AG1201
I know his generator is aftermarket but not sure on the brand. I'll have to pull it and test it. He's got te CE voltage reglator that mount son the end of the generator. Not sure if it istill functional. looks grungy but may still work.

Controls for short people, all the rage on your coast is those mid controls, even the high up ones. Not a fan of them, but should work well for the vertically challenged.

Yeah just need to find out where I can get them. Out there, just need a decent source.
Cannonball gives you a template for the cutout area on the fender.
Also comes with a plate to cover the hole. Gonna need to modify it since the rear fender is a bit customized. That said, I tried it on an extra OEM 49 fender that I have in my stash and it fits perfectly
Adjusted the template for the fender and the cut out came out great. Mounted the fender to the bike along with the e-start and it fits as it should.
I'm stepping back a bit but I want to give a shout-out to W&W, company who supplies the Cannonball set up. Delivery was quick and easy. Only extra cost was $41 for import fees. Came in a box slightly larger than the box that contains all the parts and stuff. Packed very well and very secure. Any empty space had packing material. Everything was a box within a box. Even come with a certificate of ownership.
