After duffing my rear mech and bending the hanger I thought I’d have a go at making my own…turned out alright I reckon 😀

Needs a logo!

What bike? looks like my covert one?

Intense 6.6 (and some Ibis)

turned out alright I reckon

Only if it fits

It’s back to front.

Off to see if it fits now..I’ll either add a photo of it in place or this shall be the last you ever hear about it 😉

It fits 😀
Fractionally too thick but that’s easy enough to modify. Main thing is it fits the swingarm location perfectly..

Can you make a mint sauce key ring?

Looks very nice!

Just wondered if you would be worried about it being too strong? Did you select a grade of aluminium that would bend? break before the frame?

Thought it was going to be about this:

Only an advantage if you have your own m/c! Or an understanding boss – mine’s a total twunt 🙁

Nice work, by the way!

Oh the memories… 🙂

I was looking at our new 5 axis Mazak the other day. That programming lark has moved on a bit.

I remember an old Bridgeport we had. They all hated the Heidenhain controller. I loved it. 😐

I remember an old Bridgeport we had

I’ve got access to 5 Bridgeports, 2 are 5 axis 🙂

I walk past our machine hall every couple of days and always think… “if I had access to those cnc machines… I’d still have no idea what to do with them but it’d be cool to ruin some metal and tools!”

That’s what I started on (Bridgeport+Heidenhain). Didn’t take long to spot the opportunity for making motorbike rearsets and the like…

I see your elastic band gun and raise you this LEGO sniper rifle 😀

my old cnc was an interact, with tnc2500. my new one is a haas with good old g code, and in the majority of respects it is much better. there are some canned cycles which can help.

it took a bit of getting used to though, having had heidenhain imprinted on my brain.

stevied – oh for a trunion, the things i could do

Got a room full of 5 axis Deckles here with Powermill software. Need to come up with some bike projects for them.

Nice work, last CNC machine I used it was programmed with a BBC micro.
