[dorkbotpdx-blabber] motorcycle (electric)

[dan p]

Background:
I'm in the process of making an electric motorcycle. I've got about 82% of
the parts (give or take). The motor is a brushless ETEK that apparently was
first designed to replace the nasty two stroke that is used in sailboats
(?). That, the controller, throttle, and some fiddly bits, and you've got
yourself the stuff to stuff into a motorbike.

I've got a (very) dead motorcycle from a dumpster. I'm getting the
impression that the hardest part of this project will be gettting the
motorcycle bits to work, not the electric bits.

Request:
So... anyone know of a dead or nearly dead motorcycle that can be had on the
cheap? Motor is irrelevent, brakes required, electric (lights, turns, etc)
would be nice, and a title, as getting a title sounds like it might be the
biggest pain in the project so far.

Thanks.
Dan.
