I have some really cool news! We picked up our first sponsor for the RS-XV project! Josh from Speedcell Technologies graciously hooked us up with one of their killer light weight superbike batteries... These things are pretty amazing! It is a "truly" maintenance free battery that weighs around 1 pound!!! Standard bike batteries tend to weigh around 7 to 8 pounds..That's a pretty amazing amount of weight savings that this guy is going to provide! And what I mean by "maitenance free" is that the battery will not die from sitting on a shelf or in the bike with no activity!! It is nothing like a conventional motorcycle battery.. Really impressive!
As for the bike, we have gotten the headers nearly completed... The rear cylinder was a little tricky to complete, but I do think they turned out really well... Next in line is to create the exhaust pipes.. Should be pretty fun!
