I want to make my busa a bagger next year. Could you make a raked front triple tree?

 

[fallenarch]

Wow nice work! Is that swingarm a single billet of aluminum? How much does it weigh? Also, how did you check stresses, balance, alignment, and such?

No problem. I did such triples for several bikes. A made 4.5 degree triples for Honda Gold Wing trike a couple of weeks ago.

A single billet with additional part on the end of it. A tested construction - I've made lots of them before. It weights a lot right now, but I did not machine the inner part - the design of it is still on approval with the owner. Everything is tested and modeled in CAD system. After that it's made of metal. I'm into engineering since 2001. Have technical degree in college and university, so it's not a problem for me

pretty amazing work. Have you ever considered making a complete frame and all? With your capabilities you can pretty much do anything! Very exciting

 

[Shishkinnick]

I can make a frame. No problems with that. But I make such things only for big projects with a customer, who pays good money for that. Too expensive. As wheels from a billet alloy - I can make them, but the price is really big.

How much does something like that go for?

 

[Shishkinnick]

How much does something like that go for?

Around $600 for a couple of triples.

 

[Shishkinnick]

Installed swingarm. Making the hub now.

 

[Shishkinnick]

Lathing of the hub.

 

[VIPER]

sweetness!!!

 

[PandaNin]

I haven't been so excited to see an update in such a long time...

 

[fallenarch]

Awesome!

Around $600 for a couple of triples.

Thats a great price, I hope I can get ahold of you next year when I start building my busa bagger

Man those look nice. I'd love to have a smooth curved rim like that
