Purchased a Ep8 online to bolt into the 2020 Range before mimicking the procedure to the 2019 Sight....
Took to the bike workshop, installing the first 2 bolts, front position of frame motor to swing into place, eyeing off how it sits before removal to a small piece from the frame, all going ahead well....
Next, so close but yet so far, motor reaching its inline position for the next 2 bolt lugs position.
The EP8 became restricted by frame, or the top of Ep8 the "spine" of EP8 compresses up against frame, roughly at the shock mount region.....
Until both motors are sitting beside one another on the bench its then to what stands out in differences, the bolt lugs are more proud on the Steps 8000, giving cavity space and possibly to evidence of frame manufacture designing frames to fit motors, possibly with the carbon manufacturing.....
The mod upgrade works with some frame designs. from my position owning two rigs that essentially do it all, simply working on preserving at best creating for longevity.
Anyone out there still ripping on these first gen Vlt's....
