Left-side Low-side :( ...looking for Lt Footpeg, Shift Lever, & Frame Pucks

[34nineteen]

Dan,

Check out this link. This assembly pictured is what I was referring to. There is another thread from azmidget going into detail on this as well.

I just finished printing my preliminary Frame Puck to verify fitment to the frame (starting w/ the good side first!) Fits well though I have a few immediate changes and plan to add the detail on the face to make it look more OEM. Not bad for a first run!

 

[34nineteen]

I would make it wrap a little more around the back to help cover any dents in a damaged frame.

I wonder what it would look like if you removed the "point" and had cover the weld in front of it?

Looks really good, though!

Hey 34nineteen, ya, I'm glad you mentioned that about the back radius (in front of the knee)...I kept looking at pictures and some appear to go over and others appear to stop short of that radius. I think I'll do that for the next run. As for that front weld, I like that idea, too, though that'll exceed my printable area on my 3D print bed so I'll keep it short for now. It is a great idea, though...welds are always a bit unsightly!

I could help with that? Mines 300x300x400? I have PLA in it now but getting Nylon for another project (EBR airbox Charcoal can delete).

Did you just scan one or is there a file out there already?

 

[Danthehitman]

Hey Cooter,

I'm starting from scratch by scanning my frame and modeling new puck geometry. I'm going to turn that "knee" radius a bit on my next version as 34nineteen suggested. I don't want to run it all the way up to the weld at this time, just going to keep it simple for now...though that's a good idea for another day I'm getting close on finishing my next version.

I'm running a CR-10, it's 300 x 220 x 300. You might be close, for running up to that weld, but I'd have to take a look.

 

[34nineteen]

I think TPEHAK did that on the other forum. I think I saw it in the knowledge vault section. I’m not up on cad software, so not sure it that will help or not.

 

[Cooter]

I'm running a CR-10 as well! Didn't know they made different beds for the same printer.

Thanks 34:19 I didn't know he did that. I'll look for it and maybe pump some out to have on hand for people that need them. I really appreciate what the other dude was doing but $200 is just silly.

Unfortunately it’s not that silly. He is going to want to make a little $$$ on it and so is the retailer. At the small volume he is likely doing compared to HD, his landed cost is likely about what Harleys MSRP is/was.

Did you find that footpeg? I just happen to have one in my parts bin from my long since sold XB12S (I too had a small lowside, but on the right side, had to test out the new brake lever, no I didn't see that patch of sand...). Shoot me a PM and we can work out the address/details.

I never would have thought pineapple works on road rash... might have to try that, but in no rush to find out!

I'm not trying to trash him. I do appreciate the effort and to be fair, he's doing it "right". But today is a Brave New World.

As a regular Joe, I can send the existing CAD file (or just 3/d scan with my i-phone) and have a mould CNC'd for the cost of the billet and 2 hours machine time (about $500 each) then mould as many as I want in whatever color or durometer I want. Thats a pretty minimal investment to make unlimited parts.

Or: Just like Dan did, I can print one out of PLA, nylon, wood, or even metal, with a machine that costs $500 in about 6 unsupervised hours on my table at home. Using about $8 in materials for each one.

He has invested his time and money into providing us Buellers with a part gone NLA, and deserves his ROI. But what the heck do I know? I paid $80 for a stock plastic EBR chain guard...:upset:

I’m not saying your trashing him, it’s just that it’s more of a “big picture”. They need to build some profit in to deal with returns/warranties etc. where they will just have to throw them away after someone can’t figure out how to stick in on properly, then claims warranty/defective part and will just have their CC company do a chargeback if their demands aren’t met, right or wrong.

XB12MN, I ordered a footpeg a few days before you posted this but thank you for the message. That's kinda how my luck works

I haven't tried the pineapple trick but have kept up w/ the triple antibiotic neosporin, seems to be healing well. It's awfully disgusting looking at the moment! (I won't share pics, no worries!)

 

[Danthehitman]

Hey guys, check it out...here's my next version. I've extended it so it wraps the knee radius as well as added the cool highlight detail on the face. Running a print now to check fitment to the Left/damaged side of my bike.

Getting closer!

As a regular Joe,

Cooter Now you are trashing Me ??? LOL

 

[Cooter]

Hey SR! Where ya been? No offense to the "Joes" out there, but you are well past that status my friend:angel:

Thank you Cooter Double Carpel tunnel surgery

Its been 8 wks , I rode the EBR & the 1125 yesterday and today.

Heal up quick SR! You above average Joe!

Thank you ! I have low self esteem and I like it that way, LOL :angel:
