[up]. Cool project.

 

[truckinduc]

Wasn't happy with the bottom so I re shaped it.

 

[truckinduc]

Cut the clamp slits with my little portaband. Should have used a slitter on the mill but didn't have the proper sized one.

Top triple is about done. I may add some radius to the outer clamp edges but that's all I've got left to do. What do you guys think?

 

[heagachongoose]

Looks damn good. I'd pay for one. I appreciate the documentation also. Looking forward to the rest of this build.

From what I can tell this is all milled manually?

I assume you are using the 7075 Al for this also? Just curious but where do you get your materials?

 

[truckinduc]

This piece is 6061. I didn't have a large enough piece to make this from 7075, I wish I did. Overall the clamp is 1.800" tall.

I get most of my material from the scrap yard actually. Sometimes it is dificult to identify the alloy.

This clamp was done 100% on a cnc machine, but about 1/3 of the work was manual.

The rearsets I'll make next, they will be 7075. They will also feature adjustable foot pegs. I'm about to start drawing them up.

I'll post more documentation shots if you like.

done

 

[MikeyLawless]

So trick dude. do you actually own a cnc?

 

[truckinduc]

I wish. I plan on getting one in the next few years. I just program them now.

 

[heagachongoose]

Mastercam?

 

[truckinduc]

Ya mastercam 10 I think. Brand new version.

 

[brock]

Awesome. You should sell them trees man, I'll be getting my grizzly mill set up with a cnc end of this year or beginning of next and would love to do this type of work, it will be a lot of learning but I can't wait.
I'll be keeping in touch and following the tread closely. Bravo.

 

[truckinduc]

Thanks, I love being able to make parts. Im currently designing my rearsets. Hopefully I can cut them soon. They will be adjustable and unlike any ive seen on a buell before.

Is it difficult to remove the gas cap for everyone? I feel like my key is going to bend.

 

[Sirius815]

My old Firebolt didn't have that issue, but the "new" one does. Many of them do it. Lube is good

 

[thrstrmech]

[up] that triple is awesome

still have my own reservations about the homemade frame pucks

 

[truckinduc]

That's ok they weren't designed with you in mind.

 

[heagachongoose]

LOL

 

[truckinduc]

designing new rearsets. rear brake design is 100% totally different and the only stock part utilized will be the rotor.
