Leathers opinions please | Random Thoughts
What are your thoughts on these? http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/sport/leather+motorcycle+suits/teknic_chicane+2-piece+suit Need some new leathers as my horizons have expanded a little.These seem like a race horse deal if they are of good quality.

I've been gone for a while....
Blew my motor last August and the bike has been down since.
I was asked to display my bike at Mama Tried in February even though it was not in running condition. I got the BST on the bike and all reassembled for the show.
My bike has been sitting since, until in the last two weeks I have swapped a new stock engine into the bike and Brocks CT Single.
I have started working on a bracket design for the exhaust since I no longer have the passenger foot pegs.
And I have finally started working on the real design for my key delete for the tail/trunk latch. I have designed a piece is a direct drop in replacement of the lock cylinder, and it reuses the OEM cable bracket and the retaining clip that holds everything together. It is a simple twist knob that will release the hump/passenger seat.
I currently have an updated knob design running in my printer right now as I did not find the knurling on the original test piece to have enough grip.
My plan once I have everything operating and looking the way I like will be to have this piece machined from aluminum for a nice finish and longevity over the 3D print.

Are you running a rear BST as well now ? Bike is looking quick at that show , despite engine .
I see you running the stock shocker , thought you would of already had one of these ( pic below ) from DME for your beast . My mate scored one of their air race shock from them , loves it , says its absolutely the best .

No not yet. I got the front one for R&D for some ideas I had that ended up not going anywhere. I have considered even getting rid of the BST and going with Core Moto even though I dont particularly like the company. I think some raw machined and clear anodized wheels would look cool on my bike.
I want one of those as well but just haven't gotten around to it yetI see you running the stock shocker , thought you would of already had one of these ( pic below ) from DME for your beast . My mate scored one of their air race shock from them , loves it , says its absolutely the best .

Finally got around to making some lightning weave handlebars, and I will be installing them along with the Unit 5 clip ons. I have plans to swap the Unit 5 parts for the new Alif clamp eventually, but this setup will do for now. I've been sitting on this material for almost a year now. I think it looks really cool.

Prototype 2 of my lock cylinder delete is a success. I tweaked my original 3D printed design and had it machined from 6061. I added 2 ceramic bearings for the shaft to rotate within, and it operates very smoothly. I will be getting one more prototype to show surface finish of the final production pieces, and I will opening up a group buy for these. The production pieces will be bead blasted and anodized black.
They have been confirmed to fit Gen 2 and 3 Hayabusa so far. Waiting on confirmation for Gen 1, and then will be testing GSX-R as well.

I finally was able to get a mold produced and pull a real part out for my first grip design.
The plan will be to produce these in black, but I did not have the correct pigment for this rubber on hand so I mixed up some grey instead. Firmness is very similar to that of the OEM Hayabusa grips. I kind of like the grey so I may offer grey but a darker version, and also black when it’s all said and done.

Another current project,
This time I’m working on a kickstand mount replacement that will be machined from 6061.
What I’m showing here in this post is the base geometry to align everything. I will be making a few slight changes to the swing of the stand and the angle that it kicks out to allow our bikes to more safely sit on the stand, especially after lowering. I will also be removing extra material after running some simulations.
The final version will likely drop roughly 10-12oz.

Sign me up man! I also just got onto your Instagram page. Do you have a time frame of when you'll be releasing those carbon fiber fuel tank brackets?

I have a few projects I’m getting out of the way before I start on the brackets again. Early 2024 I would say. Last sample for the lock cylinder delete will be here tomorrow for test fitment and I’ll be doing a group buy for the first run after that.

Working on a few more things

Getting close with the lock cylinder deletes. Clearing up some issues with production but here’s a good representation of how the final pieces will look
Are there any plans to make these available to the public?

Yep that’s exactly what I’m working out right now for the production run. I will be offering a group buy for the initial run and then will stock after that. Group buy information will be coming soon.

Would this be the equivalent of a linear rate link?
