Big_oll Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Lol, a fair few but i only get half an hour and it was the designing that took longest, kept changing my mind on what looked good. As soon as the design was done i just wacked it in the CNC miller and hey presto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's made me ride better just because i know it's on there!!!Heavy as f**k?looks mintNope, i'd handmade a steel one, just temporary, that only went over the top two bolts. It was only 3mm thick and this one is lighter!Home made - by cnc? Lol, ok, cnc made but designed at home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe b Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Ooooh, that looks rather swish. Very professional; well made and it doesn't look like one of those daft things that some idiot has glued together! Looks quite bulky though, if your not a light-weight freak then, obviously, it doesn't matter . However, for me, a few extra drillings wouldn't go a miss...Cheers,Joe.

Mr Motivator Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Goes a bit narrow, I'd like to run it through a CAD stress test and see how rigid it really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.McMillan Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 So when you going to start your business then? lol, looks very good and rigid, would you make them for other people? what kind of place do you work at with cnc machines, i want to work there and have some lunch breaks too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Goes a bit narrow, I'd like to run it through a CAD stress test and see how rigid it really is. I dont really know about the booster, would look alot better as one flowing shape, rather than goin in half way up, then the top part of it being really long (arent I technical lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickycoleman Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Just out of interest, Where do you work? I take it you dont work at McDonalds to be using machinery like that in't lunch break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
