Its time to make sure the Doner Bike is road ready. My bike also had a lot of rust and some body work that needed to be done.

With any old bike its a must to check front and rear suspension, barrings, and brakes. Check out Dan's Motorcycle repair guide to address any issues.

Time to put together some way to mount your batteries. Your best bet here is to create cardboard cutouts the sames size as your batteries, and then see what configuration will work best. Cuts done on moving around large heavy batteries. I was able to use some some 1 inch steel from lowes and come up with some pretty steady battery mounts. Remember to keep the battery weight as center and low as possible to help with handling.
