Awesome job ... would have liked to see you screaming for joy on the first take 🙂. Can't wait to see it running!!! You mentioned something about not crimping the cables correctly, what was that?
The way my cables were originally crimped, I had the terminal just pinched on both sides of the connector without actually compressing the cable. The proper way was to have the terminal compressed equally around the cable. Hope this makes sense! I'll definitely keep my original reaction for the test drive haha
Very curious what range you attain and how much power that 8k hub motor really manages to reliably deliver... this is extreamly close to the 1985 VF750C build I want to one day do...
The 1985 VF750C looks to have a ton of space and would be a great cruiser after converting it to electric! Talking with the QS Motor company, I was told that I should get 62-74mi/charge at 40mph and 46-52mi/charge at 49mph. So this heavily depends on the speed I'm going, but I will definitely make a video on the data after some rides!
@piingaz5232 Yes I can. I just have some spare batteries to use and was not ready to invest in a dc-dc converter just yet. I'll consider buying one later on!

Instead of a 12v battery for your low voltage side you can just use a dc-dc filter to step down the voltage.
