Its on the picture on the site if you zoom  its written on the batteries

the best part about the bosch agms is they come with a 4 yr warranty which is better then trojan or any of the other people who are providing agms geared for renewable energy projects and similar so for me best bang for buck good warranty and not too heavy all considered vs equivalent ah in trogan and weight would have been higher then boschs




Plus most places charge exorbitant shipping for batteries  with pepboys there local pickup(ship to your desired store) and no extra for shipping :)

Yeah looking to add another 200 watts eventually as i have two battery banks the 400 watts in picture is going to the agms for the inverter stuff and the other 200 watts i would like to add will go to the other battery flooded lead acid bank for the dc related appliances and lights. Having the loads split across two banks helps keep the peukerts affect(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peukert's_law) low vs having one big ass battery bank and if i run my inverter batteries out still have power for heat and lights in the rv pretty sweet setup.

I believe the 5.7 has 2 like 27 ah lithium batteries(correct me if im wrong) so takes like 54-60 ah to completely charge based off the meter with just the onboard charger plugged in i see about a 6amp draw on my electrical power panel from the inverter and as it has 368ah total in that bank its drawing from i should be able to charge bike daily as well as have left overs for other stuff power wise :)

3kw pure sine xantrex inverter charger  http://www.xantrex.com/power-products/inverter-chargers/freedom-sw-12v_newgen.aspx

400w poly solar kit from renogy with MPTT

works pretty decent i don't have a quick charger as of yet to try that out but im sure my inverter would handle that

Yeah its definitely an H4 ill take a look at your previous links then ideally want plug and play without modding it.

Got my 2013 Zero Fx 5.7 from Indian Motorcycles in Lafayette  which was a dealer demo for a great price they would not budge on the price as their margins were low but they did hook me up with a few free accessories(12volt socket,phone mount and ) as consolation was very impressed with their professionalism and customer service. Wish they had more models in stock to testride but as i already knew i wanted an fx was not too upset about that.

So yeah just ask for accessories you want at dealer and im sure they will hook you up :)

Are the lights the same for the fx 2013 as the ds ? bulb wise

also has anyone converted there 2013 fx to use leds or HIDS?  if so id really like that information just acquired my fx and while the halogen are ok they def seems wasteful power wise as there always on and i dont want to have to put an override on to lessen the power use for offroad and whatnot if i can just switch to something more efficient power wise
