Now if Vetter will just heal up and get some fairings made, we'll be set!

Doug are you doing the full LVF (last vetter fairing) or just the front? My two front pieces are fiberglassed together waiting to be trimmed down to fit the concept design vetter posted a while back with stock seating. It is now at the top of my list of projects to complete before winter hits (since last winter with 10F mornings was "Fun" even with heated gear ... sometimes I wondered "is my gear on" so then I would flip the switch and realize "yeah it is on" ) lol

I will likely start working on this again not this weekend but the weekend after since I have to get Turbo past inspection and confirm the firmware update "fixed" my lack of throttle response errors :/

Specwise this charger outperforms the official power tank a lot. Earlier in the thread other (DC) inlets were mentioned, does somebody know if there's more information about that?

The new Zero Level 2, J1772 "Charge Tank" will be a $1,988 dealer-installed option on the 2016 Zero S, DS and SR models.  My understanding is that it can not be retrofitted to the 2015 and earlier Zero bikes. The Charge Tank will function at a 3.3 KWh rate.

Zero lists a 2.5 kW charge rate for the Charge Tank. When combined with the 1.3 kW onboard charger, the bike charges at 3.8 kW (enough to bring the 11.4 kWh ZF13 to 95% in 3 hours).

I stand corrected. I read 3.8 as 3.3. I guess I need better reading glasses.

Burton, I don't have anything in work. That's why (in addition to just plain liking the guy) I'm rooting for Craig to get back on his feet and back to what he loves, making vehicles more efficient. When I spoke to him 4th of July weekend, he said he wasn't going to be able to get to his SR project until the end of the summer at the earliest, and then he had his accident. I've toyed with the idea of rolling my own, I enjoy doing fiberglass work and I'm good at it, but there's a lot of other things like light mounting, wiring, mounting issues, contouring acrylic windscreens, stuff like that that I'd be making up from scratch, where Craig knows it like the back of his hand.

I think between Brandon's supercharger and Craig's efficiency increases, touring on the S/SR could become a matter of 1-1/2 hour riding, 45 minutes charging, which seems like a pretty decent touring speed to me -- any more time on the bike than that and my butt just gets sore faster anyhow. In addition, with charging options increased and range extended, many more trips become possible. I'm REALLY looking forward to being able to do that sort of ride on the SR.

Got my invoice last night.  Check out the last line:

... you will need to adjust amperage manually via the DigiNow Super Charger App

An app!  wicked!!

[Doug S]

Same exact invoice I got, Patrick, and I noticed the same thing. It's gonna be wicked.

My invoice appears to say it's for charger number 5, what's yours? It'd be interesting to find out how many they've sold already.

[Patrick Truchon]

Yeah, I can't wait!  I got number 7 

[benswing]

I'm 004.  Wonder who got in line before me?!?  :-)

Looking forward to seeing what this can do! 

[RedWizardChris]

Number 6, and I'm super excited to get it!

[mrwilsn]

I just got my invoice today...number 9!  Who's gonna organize the summer of 2016 Zero Super Charger Tour of the USA...haha

IN!!

Let the planning begin...

I made a google doc to gauge initial interest in road tripping on our Zeros.  If you think of a category of information that would be useful, please add it.  Even if you can't do much of a road trip, it will be fun to know where everyone is so we can find each other for weekend rides.

Okay, I'll admit it: by volunteering my bike as guinea pig for 2013 models, I managed to get a little ahead in line. :-) Being in the Bay Area has certainly yielded some unexpected perks as a Zero owner (the flea market cache of parts being the other one).

This is the most bastardized Zero I've ever seen .. SR badging, '15 mirrors, '13 plastics, DS forks/wheels, SR badging .. looks like a size 4 controller

That happens to be my bastardized 2013 DS. The mirrors are from a flea market sale that I happened to get in on. We threw on the SR tank plastics because I didn't have power tank plastics on hand. The bike itself will get more bastardized as I customize it further with the 15 flea market finds; hopefully I can make it look better with some paint or vinyl.
