Re: 665----667---------Neighbour's of the Beast
Hi Guys,
this is second prototype, quicker than first one that didn't work. (I gave up on that one after about 8~12 hrs)
It's still going to take some time to make, they are labour intensive.
I have a small 'benchtop' mill (1hp), rotary table and a bunch of different cutters.
Probably about same amount tied up in machinery as some people have in a good home computer ($2,500~$3,000ish, probably not a good idea to total it up
)
Cutting, drilling and set up is time consuming.
It does make it way more exclusive though.
If I ever made another one for sale I would need about $250.00 which is just too much for a CB360 exclusive part, particularly as I would still not be making a profit. (although I think it will also fit a CB400f?)
I see the 'Cafe Fabrications' CB750 CNC bottom yoke (lower triple tree) is $650 for a CNC part, that's just a slab of alloy (bottom of big arse projects header page)
I timed how long my clip-on's would take, about 12 hrs a pair for the clamps (the bars are just bars cut up, about $30~$70 extra)
I could make 'slabs' faster, I just dont like the way they look-unfinished.
I'm beginning to think I should make an exclusive thread for machining stuff, it's still big arse projects ;D?
