Anybody else having any "long term" experience with the Belly Pan, the chargers and any rainy trips ?

The main thing to remember is that Sam modified his chargers. I can't guarantee chargers after people cut into the wiring.

They'll only get better, more range, faster charging, etc. We're all sort of out in the Wild West frontier land here. 10 years from now we'll wonder how we ever put up with today's tech.

edit- so start working on your stories to tell the grandkids. "Back in my day we only had J1772 plugs that delivered 6.6kW!"

Especially when I'm 22 miles into a ride on my FX and realize I have to turn around now...

Does anyone know if there is any possibility to still buy these chargers from somewhere?
