MiniGP Build

If you noticed the front wheel is only single rotor, albiet is a big brake kit for the bike going from 220mm to 245mm rotor and larger piston caliper. There's no need to run more brakes up front, but again with being proportional, I want duals. I think it's possible to do safely, but alot more measuring needs to be done. I modeled the rotor mount, need to do the wheel itself so I could see where it falls. I'd like to get my part CNC out of 7075 and get the wheel machined to accept it and bolt. The machine work I'll have to source out, definitely not my forte when accuracy is a priority.

I've always wanted to design my own triple ever since I started riding. To me, it's the centerpiece of the bike. Kind of think this may be my chance, although very much may be cost prohibitive for 1-off part. Unsure what I'll do, will decide towards the end.

Tried a 3D scan via PolyCam. For as simple as it is to use, the 3D model is pretty awesome visually. Where it fails though is file output is crap.

3pc mold for a forged carbon brake caliper mount.

New rear caliper with new mount, but don't really like it at bottom center. I want to rotate it CCW towards the swingarm and tuck it under the arm out of the air flow.

Modeled the headlight so I can start locating it when I get the full bike scanned in. Broke out my Creality Lizard scanner and did a test run to see a plan of attack for the full bike scan.

Most of the old molds from forged carbon parts I've made, so far.

It’s like someone emptied a fire extinguisher :lol:

Initally I started to do a real scan so sprayed the bike down so it could see the black and take gloss off stuff. This stuff is exactly as you said for clean up, going to have to roll it outside and wash it without fairings to get what I can off. It's suppose to remove easily, but this ain't looking easy, lol.

I did get the front and tail scanned in so I can start placing where headlights and some tail aero will be.

Rear caliper final location after testing several angles, running a 190mm rotor, testing several angles and want it out of the way as possible. Indirectly this made the mount even stronger. I still prefer bottom visually, but this seems more logical.

Started designing the front brake duct. Just basic shape, still trying to figure out best mounting for it. Also plan to scan the rear caliper to make one for it. Zero use for either obviously, but have to follow in the footsteps of motoGP.

Other 2 bikes hanging out, been putting miles on both.

Brackets are just for mock up. I'll get my models cut out of 7075 on a CNC. I did make a true forged carbon one for the front to test strength. I'm pretty confident it's up to the task, but as we all know from the Titan....which when carbon does give, it just shatters so testing...

Testing a shifter out on the fiddy, see if it'll hang so I can make one for this bike.

Also made opposite side caliper mount. My MFZ spare wheel rotor hub came in, confirmed I definitely can do dual brakes up from with some careful measuring and planning.
