Not bad. I like the custom paint scheme. I recently restored a XTR-S 450 that was dumped in our work dumpster. It's amazing how much larger the volume of the SE battery compartment is by comparison. The frame rails on mine are a lot narrower, since the batteries were originally set up one in front of the other, lengthwise. I actually kept the stock electric motor on mine... it tops out at 22.5 MPH flat out with the new 36V Li-ion pack and 800W controller. The 36V10AH pack (which fits like a glove) is a JETECH-branded OEM pack meant for a TurboAnt e-bike. Never occurred to me to try swapping a hub motor; that was rather brilliant, actually. Here I was looking for an elusive MY7618 36V 600W brushed-motor (without spending a small fortune to get one from China) and you gave me a far better solution. Yours has the integrated seat mount in the frame, also, so finding a seatpost to fit it will be significantly easier than it was for mine (which requires a specific add-on mount for a seatpost). 24:00 If you ever need to replace your grip tape in the future, consider using a rubber mallet to hammer around the edges of the deck until it impresses the shape into the backing material, then use a utility knife to ride along the leading-edge of the deck and the blade will find its way through the backing material much easier, leading to cleaner cuts. Great work, you've given me inspiration for a possible upgrade path. Thanks for sharing!
