Erasmo you have how many Diginow chargers total?  Where is your intended mounting location for them?  But I like the idea of using it right away.  I think even just sitting on a towel or sweatshirt you could carry 2 of them easily in the Pelican case.
4. At this point I'm thinking panniers to keep the center mass low. I just hooked up a temporally solution with 2 units to get around until that time, I posted it in Superchargers in panniers, but with a twist?

4 superchargers?  Nice!!  8) 8) 8) I also have 4 superchargers and love it!  Max out 2 J plugs and you're going again in no time!

Made a quick video of the end result:



I barely rode 500km with it but am still very happy with it.
Just WOW! I would easily pay $2000 US for that. Likely more, depending on how much it increases range and comfort.

Also liked the pic of the windmill. Looks very similar to the new ones gracing the hills in Livermore, CA (30 miles east of San Fransisco)  http://www.mercurynews.com/2011/08/28/altamont-pass-wind-farm-gets-major-upgrade/

Well with all those extra batteries you're probably still way under 1C ;D Do you have the SC's for the mothership in the top case?

Funny thing is these turbines are actually somewhat old, new ones can be double as high since the efficiency scales directly with size. I spend a lot of time at sea and to see the massive coastal wind parks up close never ceases to amaze me.

Go for it! Keep an eye on craigslist for older fairings, 90's Honda third party fairings seem to fit pretty good on the Zero frame.
I had most of the work done at a local independent panel beater, since it needed to go to him for painting anyway, total cost for the project was about €1000.

A few more potential half-fairing options that someone could try...  Yamaha FZ6 (circa 2007ish) or Suzuki SV650
