Modelled the bakside and printed both parts:
Printing the clamp lying down wasn't a good idea..
Both because of finish and strength:
The housing turned out ok, one of the threaded holes was a bit off. I'll correct it and print new ones. The clamp I'll print lying on its side.
Very valid point indeed :)
Up until about 2010 I was more into VW Beetles. In the early 2000s the RatRod (or Rat Look, as previous trends were called "Cal(ifornia) look" and German looker") trend hit the VW sceene, and it went in several directions. One of those was the beetles with rusted...
I'm looking to replace the switchgear. I need 3 buttons (non-latching push-buttons) on each side.
The setup I currently have looks like this:
I don't like the ergonomics at all.. especially the button on the back is a pain to reach with gloves.
I know they have another version that looks like...
Couldn't resist trying to make my first 3D printed part for the bike
First, I made a 3D model in Fusion 360:

Then printed it. The print quality is awful, because of low quality setting and bad preparations. Just wanted to test if the...
Well.. stuff always seem to happen. My father in law bought a Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D printer a while ago. He was the one who printed the "speedo converter" I designed:

I ended up with another solution, but at least I now know I have the skills...
Thought the Cognito Moto design of the indocator lights were much prettier than the big lights I used the last time. Drilled holes for 3mm 3V Leds, countersunk the holes 2mm and tested. Pretty satisfied. I did a test at a spot where I'm gonna remove material for the Mini anyway, just in case...
Did a quick photoshop of what the triple would look like with the Mini and lights. I first did some sanding on the triple to brake up the shapes and to match the "design" with the tank and tail. I think I'll go with this.

I don't know if this makes sense to you, but I wanted to see if I could fit the Motoscope mini into the GSXR-triple. When I bought the Mini, the plan was to use the original front. Then the new triple would have looked like this:

I dont't have the exact measurements, but if you look at the black tape on the one fork; the new tyre stops at the top of the tape. The forks have 120mm of total travel, but you use probably 80mm so theres lots of room. The triple offset is about the same, but you loose about 25mm of offset from...
As you can see in the previous post I've used some high level CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) to visualize the placement of the fender. The fender is an aftermarket fender for the ducati Monster, and originally looks like this:

Since I'm using...
Today I put together the fork to see what it's like. Seems pretty short without the weel, but I like the look. I'm putting on some shorter mounts for the headlight to get rid of the gap when looking at it from the side.

I'm using the original top triple, with some modifications. Before:

Got a couple of hours in the shed today. First task was cleaning the calipers from the new forks. I'm going to paint them black, so they will have to be really clean. All pistons move ok, and the pads are not too worn. Maybe I'll change pads anyway, now that they are out. It feels better to know...
Made a new drawing of the front wiring. The current setup is a bit messy, and with the new fork/headlight, I just as well redo it all. Too many wires together makes the loom stiff, and I'm grouping the wires by maximum five.I'm also running the wires inside the clip-ons this time, including the...
And here's a couple of pictures of the wheel/GSXR rotors and the custom Cognito Moto steering stops I bought with bonus points from buying the wheel. The unboxing experience really is premium and the wheel comes with soft cloth "showercaps" on both sides for protection. The bolts and steerings...
