1982 Gsx 1100 electric question

[craig_s]

I found a Gsx frame sitting in a back yard paid $100 for it and decided to convert this bike to electric, that way I can retain this classic while being environmentally Conscientious. I have a basic knowledge of cars, I can change my own oil, stuff like that. but I'm not nearly as good with motorcycles.

The electric drive train is is planned and engineered, but before I moved to buying parts I need to learn more about the original mechanisms that will remain with the bike. I'm assuming that the brakes work with the vacuum the engine makes and I will need an electric vacuum pump and run it with the 12v dc system.

So Will I need vacuum pump? If How powerf?ull

No vacuum assist on these bikes - they're straight hydraulic and will work completely independently of anything else on the bike.

Interesting project - not my bag but sounds like fun - piccies needed!
