All you guys have inspired me a ton in my building!
Always wanted to post something here ... so here are my very first projects! I am still learning so nothing earth shattering like you guys make yet Just touched a lathe for the first time 3 months ago!
Be gentle as this was all done with a manual mill. Made these headlight clamps and mounts for Piester to mount a Vrod light on his R1. The clamps started as 3/8" 6061 plate.
nice work, streetfighterkz, nothing wrong with manual mills, I spent 7 years on em before I touched a CNC, on simpler jobs, I print out the CAD onto a4 laser decal pages and stick directly to the plate, then bandsaw and linish with a small 1" belt sander to shape, its surprisingly accurate as you can get actual size prints to work too..and all on free cadware too
Here's a cable splitter I made. Bike came with an twin cable throttle, one for each carb. Syncing was done by adjusting the small adjuster in middle of the cable, very fiddly. Again I couldn't find a commercially available splitter I liked, so I made this splitter and some adjusters to sync with. I binned the BS38 carbs so the splitter went in the no longer required box. Machining done on the the lathe, the step was milled on my small BF20 mill. Knurling done using a scissor knurler I made several years ago. As it was mounted under the tank it was a waste of time polishing it, so I anodised it in an anodising Bath I put together.
Yeah, but its's not running. Plugs keep fouling. Suspect there's a weak spark because the electric system.
