KTM 85 SX... it's supposed to have the same bolt pattern (but I have not tried myself) https://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=4559.0

Updates:

1.  Fixed at a diesel truck repair shop. Soaked in red loctite.

2.  Stll need a sprocket.  AF1 and other zero shops are closed today, so I'll try tomorrow.

how to I tag another user here?  TOGO has some powermadd hand guards on his SS9 that mount only inboard of the controls... ask him what model he has?

Thanks for the post
Apologies if I'm missing how this gets usable hand guards on my SS9+

The difference between the E and the Z when you have to pick them up off the pavement is not insignificant.  Don't ask me how I know.

I find myself wondering where all that weight is on the Energicas. The Zeros had until recently the same size battery or thereabouts and weigh a totally reasonable 225-odd kg. So that's 45kg of "stuff" lurking within the Energicas. I suppose there's a bit of extra weight with the liquid cooling - but it shouldn't be much.

And a gear box.

But  I don't understand why the weight is such an issue to so many. I can ride my extra heavy SS9-  at around 3 MPH with no problem and I cannot say even I then notice its weight. Below 3 MPH is also no issue. Walk with it  with the slow forward and reverse.

I have had more issues with my SR being too heavy as it has no reverse. But it needs no slow forward because of the great slow speed throttle response  in Eco mode. But it has no reverse, which can make it difficult just to get my SR out of the garage here. With my SS9, I simply press a button to reverse out.

Yep, that is too long Demoni...I tried on my Eva with an extra set that I had on hand.  There's a step inside the Eva bars that is problematic.  You might be able to shorten the insert or maybe add a spacer outside the bar (barkbusters includes such a spacer in their kit for the Storm).

I am confused by why the 14mm insert would not work?


Just for reference this is the insert you have as part of your kit?


Looking at the parts of the kit on the webpage and the install video they work with a variety of different bar IDs.
When tightened the little threaded piece pulls back expanding the metal insert to the ID of the bars.


The only reason I can see for the flange is to prevent the hardware used to secure bar ends from slipping too far into the bars. I can take a look tomorrow to see if it would be possible to drill this out to provide the required depth for inserts.

Yes, I like the barkbusters storm  hand guards on my Zero DS, but they definitely don't fit the handle bars on my Eva.  You might be able to get them to work with this fit kit:  https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/barkbusters-bar-end-mounting-kit-18mm-plastic-insert?sku_id=899169

I think this behavior is quite common...my bike shows a consistent +30degF on motor temp relative to ambient after sitting overnight, and I believe I've read that others see similar behavior. 

But the loss of range/jerkiness make me suspect that the motor commissioning didn't go well.  I've seen first-hand that is process can be a bit finicky, especially with an older bike/motor, and I had a similar drop in range after a dealer-performed commissioning about 1.5 years ago.  My range improved after the motor was recommissioned a second/third/fourth/fifth time.

Haven't ridden in 2 days.  30°F spread between the motor temp and other sensors.  Perhaps the sensor got cooked along with the motor.

I'm inclined to meter out the motor.  I'd just need to find a garage in which to do it.  I live in an apartment and the parking lot is less than ideal.

I cut a piece of plywood and bolted it onto the plate for my DS top case rack.  It adds just enough surface area to be able to strap some stuff onto it with a bungee net (I can remove the little back rest with 2 thumb screws).
