I have sort of been looking for a older 530, but still pricey. My plated XR 600 although a little heavier has many mods and parts are cheap.

Thanks Tate, saved!

I have heard the front stub is a pain. Nice thing is I bought another to do the swap so I will have it ready for my lift.

48 volt is the way to go from what I read. I found the guys on a couple forums to be jerks and stopped asking questions.

GC batteries are great and you can change out bad ones easy, but you need about 50 to match a lift battery.

For something totally off grid I would look at lift batteries, for a weekend here and there GC would be fine. However getting a lift battery to some places my present a challenge since you cant just cart em in.

My second solar system (DIY) has a stand alone 1500watt outlet for when the grid is down. Won't save the world but will run the fridge and charge a few batteries.

I still think for long term the forklift battery is what to look for. Sure about $1000 but a 20+ year life and all the power you ever need.

Thats why I dumped my KTM. Loved it but all special parts, nickosil liner.

Sounds like a good start. With you being up there where the sun does not really get up all that high. have you considered a tracking system?

Pure sine wave inverters are nice, but not needed for most things (delicate electronics)

Don't go cheap on the batteries as you will only run them down to around 50% to keep them alive for a long time and they like to freeze.

Are the panels mono or poly?

Here is what it looks like now, just needs a little mud. The 2 upper panels are temp to block the roof/insulation/air issues.

Can someone guess what these are??

Here is a picture showing some of the old construction. There are 3 layers of roof/ceiling there that had to be cut away. You can see the cat5 wires I had to re route.

Looks a little better with sheetrock. I did have a little help pulling wires since getting in there is not fun for me. My youngest fits fine.

Had to re run all the wires including cat 5 (2 inch hole for future add ons.

One romex was actually not hooked up on either end but the other feed the whole room and front door. (yes I always use the screws on my plugs.) The coiled wire is not hooked but there for a fan or such run to the light fixture. I am thinking pod lights later on.

Built a new frame using a 4x4 with 6 inch special lags as the base. Braced into the old trusses with glue and screws, then sheared with 3/8 ply.

If you have any concerns, just have it done from the inside. That will be as good as new.

With that said I have run those many times with no issues even in the long term. I of course did not have any remote air monitor though.

He is a wild card. That may be all that gets us by here.

I hear to many people who say they cannot vote for H, no matter what. The poles are twisted too, they even say they poll more D because there are more, really? I think if you add the independents in with the Rs it is a tossup.

I also think many who are for Trump are afraid to say it. Look at the poor guy in So Cal who had to be saved by the cops.

I fear if she gets in, she gets 3 justices and they say we may loose the senate to boot.

You need to look at the cognito steering items. The HD tie rods are junk but the pitman arm and the cross link have great upgrades.

I would do the CP3 myself. When I did the fittings it was not that hard once you slide it all off the top. Sure I didn't do my CP3, but I was right there.

Try youtube. At least you get pictures.

I used the cheap HF pullers, they worked fine. Heat helps as the arm is going in the garbage anyway.

I worked at a trucking company about 3 decades ago. We used to get the unused cement from a local plant. We had long forms made up and just had to set the end cap depending on how much they sent. We hauled beer, they got beer, we got cement.

Just $120 huh? Mine is flattened on the bottom from sitting there. Think they would have used wood to the block base, it is so easy!!

I too like getting ALL the oil out, that sounds like a plan.

Could you get a feeler gauge between the rods?

Went to a 120hp tune and make my own bio 20%. (5gal soy to into a 52 titan tank) and I run wally 2cycle.

Got 24 going down, 22 back with city driving mixed in. 3 accidents caused the 113 mile trip to take close to 4 hours.

Something is fishy there for sure. Ask your mech if the seal he pulled has a part# on it. See how custom it really is for $85 !!!!!

From what you say it is not his fault unless you pay him big bucks. Buying it though may have included a disclaimer, but you still have the forums and Paypal. Sure you still a have a few contacts too.
