I don't but would like to make a kit but I think 914 rubber has kits already?

If you really really want a kit, then Mittlemotor has them at €299 until September 2nd, €100 off...

You know how much work it is to save about 10 lbs of weight?

The GT kit sells for around $400-500. Motors sell for $50 a pair. No one will make that trade.

I think its time to make an affordable kit.. 300 euros for some bike cables, brackets, and gas shocks?

I can do these but need some samples. I may reach out to Glenn and see if he may have something i could use as templates.

I have sold two headlight motors in ten years. They do were out. The ones I sold were because the external wires were broken. Got two 5 gallon buckets of headlight motors. About ready to recycle them for the copper.

Apparently motors are worthless........ Good to know.

Thanks Larmo / for reminding me about Armando's site reference data / always and inspiration. Let meknow if you need some help on the final tune-ups on your 6werks.

The Mittelmotor sale price is only for picking up at the Sommerfest in Bochum Germany. Google will translate for you if you don't read German.
