I want to fit one of these to my 180 Jota series 1

Is it something a mere mortal could achieve...? 

I am convinced that this is the best thing I could do for my bike only issue I have with her which has stopped me is the charging system.

I also have a bit of a misfire when passing through about 2000 rpm...I understand this is characteristic of the bike but would be nice it that could be ironed out....I can easily envisage a scenario where the throttle is opened in need of ooomph and nothing happening.. :o

Its a very good thing,before I got the early kit of that system when John Wilson built them I was constantly either charging or replacing battery's and they were bloody expensive for the correct 32 amp hour ones.Since fitting the Kawasaki alternator,I think Reds is now even stronger and a different make I hardly had a battery need a charge.Probably 10 years of great service until about 6 weeks ago.Charged the battery and the bike goes well,leave it a week and it wont start,flat battery.Pisses me off to the max reminding me of the BAD old days.Had the 30x Deca battery load tested,its a huge battery capable of starting a semitrailer and supposedly OK,went through every thing else for the last month and found nothing.Went to a different place and load tested the 4 or 5 year old battery and found its FUCKED.Moral for me,Reds kit good thing,first auto sparky place usually good,in this case a waste of time and money.
 
With the tragic death of Volker Sachse,is the company in a stable position? So often they disappear without the man at the helm.

Lemon, Volker's business was based on him alone, he was making everything to order so at this stage there is no company
however plans are afloat in the background for someone else to buy the lot and resume manufacture of kits but believe they are planning on concentrating on Ducati's only
not confirmed yet


Joe, I have a few systems left if interested but with you being UK based contact Keith first, he markets our systems in the UK
I know he has some in stock as well

 
Thanks Red,Having never dealt with him just looking at his professional website I obviously had no idea,and so my fears were true.

Thank you Red...I've left a message for Keith..It would be good if you can keep continuity as I imagine you have put alot of effort into getting these systems right and available...
