The intended project fell through because of scheduling issues to bend and braze the fork. The BMW just showed up last week, so it was way too late to the party.
However, it has been the butt of a bajillion jokes in the neighborhood, as I've been helping a neighbor with his K Jetronic R107 as of recent. Many German car jokes in season this December.
Huffy? What Huffy? I don't see a Huffy.

At this point I've just heard the rumor, so I don't know myself. I don't know if this is all insurance companies, but would be absolutely worth a phone call to find out. In my mind it is a huge liability.
They're quality LG cells with excellent BMS systems, and this particular share bike has no recorded fires with these packs (outside of outright vandalism where a cell has been breached), but I'll sleep easier when I've acquired a fireproof safe to keep them in.
