ANY shovel should get upgraded to the 32amp 2 pin charging system, kills all kinds of stupid with the old electrical systems and the batteries last longer if the bike doesn't sit constantly.

As John says they aren't all created equal so cheaper isn't a good thing. Cycle Electric while good stuff are real proud of their products and pricing shows it.

Default stripped threads on transmission shaft

I created a freaking nightmare by stripping threads on transmission shaft....now having to try to use a die to repair the threads but it's going to be a shot in the dark if I can manage to get die to catch current threads....just trying to find a reverse threads die wasn't an easy task. I really screwed up this time.

Curious, Why did you get into the transmission shaft to replace the rotor?

I'm well aware it is reserve threads...I have a ajustable die but nobody in town had a die handle so I had to order one online.

I have never seen a die that adjusts from right hand thread to left hand - and you need a handle to make it happen - WOW i am impressed
