I installed 4 used Diginow 2.0 chargers in two custom aluminum boxes, mounted like panniers.  Mounting under the main battery only has room for three chargers, plus I think they would be more vulnerable to damage when riding trails.  The boxes are only 3" (~75mm) thick, and have mounting points for my soft luggage.  Overall width is only about 2.5" wider than my WR250R luggage racks.  With a 240v supply it can reach a 13kW charge rate, but while I had the power tank out I only could use 3 of the 4 chargers in order to avoid charging faster than 1C.  Attached picture shows the boxes before painting.  Dual J1772 sockets are on the outside, and I can open the hatches at the bottom-rear to access plugs that let me use a variety of adapters.  This lets me use most common AC sources in the US.  It all works pretty well so far.

That's awesome. I love it!

Some follow-up: I took out the blanking plug and PT battery, and rode that loop without any trouble.  It ended up being 1400 miles.  Then I took the bike to Team Powersports in Raleigh NC, and they were very helpful.  They found a bad BMS board, and Zero replaced it under warranty.  Now I have the bike back and it and the PT are working well again.  I may keep the blanking plug in my tool roll, though.

Would you please post an image of this plug and any information you could offer about what pins are being jumped if it's not obvious. It may be a long shot, but hoping this can fix the issue that I'm having after building a battery for a 2013 MX that I picked up and am only using one bms. I'm getting a CAN error. Thanks

Sure. This is the blanking plug that I have used on a 2021 DSR. Plugging it in allowed me to run the bike without the power tank installed. The 2 jumpers are:
5 to 13 pink
6 to 7 gray/red
