Similarly, I will measure the stiffness of the front suspension springs. To do this, I utilized a similar technique of loading the springs. Attached are the pictures of the apparatus, and the results of the loading displacement curve. From these results, I attained the equivalent stiffness of...

Re: CB400T Build ~ on a budget Today I set out to measure the spring stiffness of the rear suspension springs. For anybody out there looking to know how to do this, or looking for the stiffness of the Honda 1979 CB400T rear shock springs, here are my result: I first removed the spring and...

Re: CB400T Build ~ on a budget Here is the (almost) final assembly of the frame. The rear suspension springs will be simulated, so I don't have to actually model them. Soon, I'll upload the results of the FEA on the stock frame. Then, onto the frame modifications anaylses... The Frame Assembly:

Re: CB400T Build ~ on a budget Solidworks 2013 With the analysis package. I have to prove to the shop director that the new design is safe, for liability purposes :D So far, the modelling has been pretty accurate. I'm trying to keep the dims within 1/16". Its more about getting the gist of...

Re: CB400T Build ~ on a budget The Frame

Re: CB400T Build ~ on a budget The start of a long process of 3D modelling the frame of the bike for a finite elemental analysis of the stresses acting on it. The Swing Arm:

What's up, figured I'd make an account on this forum... Seems like a great place to get ideas for a cafe build. I'm a senior aerospace engineering student at NMSU, and I just picked up a 1979 Honda Hawk 1 (CB400T) for free. I'm doing a full rebuild of the engine and some modifications to the...
