Cool video my bike building brother :) Keep them coming

[@absolutetuber]

dang...that was an awesome video. I'm pouring over videos as i go through my build and yours was added to my list for the electric tray and you earned another subscriber. thanks!

[@lcrgarage3245]

Building a virago cafe right now. Your tray looks good. I thought the electronics tray would be kinda simple. It kicked my ass. Lol...got it looking ok on second attempt.

[@HouseofDavidMC]

Brice Loyd haha. I thought every step was going to be simple 😂😂

Nice work! For the Antigravity lithium battery, did you add any BMS (battery management system) as this battery doesn't include a built-in one so you don't have over charge, under charge or short circuit protection. I would very much like to add this super small battery to my GN250 but afraid of doing so without a BMS.

Nice work mate!

[@HouseofDavidMC]

Samuel Pocklington thanks, I'm excited to get it finished.

@@HouseofDavidMC Yo House of David!! Quick question..! What regulator/rectifier did you use to pair with the antigravity battery? About a year, maybe two, or so ago I had installed a ballistics battery on my GN250. The guy I bought it from had already replaced the regulator, so I presumed I’d be alright.. turns out that sh*t almost exploded under my ass!! Long story.. Anyhow, just wondering how to go about this. I haven’t been able to source one that specifically says lithium ion compatible reg/rec for gn250. It’s like a Sasquatch dude..I know they’re out there, but I just can’t find them! I figured it might be possible to pick your brain via the tube. Holla 🤙🏼

nice work!!!

[@HouseofDavidMC]

hey! thanks so much, Melnic :) Stay tuned.

Me gustaría saber si puedo conseguir esos componentes eléctricos sobre todo el cableado eléctrico con sus conectores de la GN 250.

[@alexbuzas918]

ill probably do something close with my build, but probably make some cuts and angled vents to catch air to help cool the electronics

[@Simon0Hohnen]

Damn, this is lit😂👌

[@andrewbarlow7922]

@house of David MC - what electrical components did you squeeze into the tray? Ive built the same tray but wondering where you located your Rectifier? and di you purchase a new rectifier for the Antigravity battery... if so which brand?

[@seanhughes1002]

Have you found out yet? I’ve come to some question with my build

[@andrewbarlow7922]

@@seanhughes1002 no not yet -- im trying to figure out myself what he puts in the tray from the video - I'm also trying to figure out where the pacifier/rectifier goes and whether to put it in the tray to make sure it doesn't over heat - waiting for my tray to come back from the sheet metal worker so will keep you in the loop when I figure out positioning

[@danielspitaletti3947]

Great job! It looks nice. How long does it take to set a tray like this?

[@HouseofDavidMC]

Daniel Spitaletti thanks!! It took me about 3 hours.

[@sirbow2]

Lookin good man. Question though: What's your plan for painting? I just sprayed the first coat of primer on my frame and some of the grinder marks are showing through. Are you gonna bondo where you welded/used a grinder?

[@HouseofDavidMC]

yes, I plan on applying bondo where needed. Also, that JB Weld Metal Stick works good on imperfections too. I kinda like it better for tubing.

[@jamesmealing5753]

Ok😊

[@warriorway5287]

Do you worry about it heating up in the box?

[@ricardogoncalves9318]

Hi,you think i can use the same battery at gn125?tanks

[@montymccune201]

yes!

[@ricardogoncalves9318]

And my indicators stop working any idea?

Why didn’t you just draw round the template on the metal?
