tom, can ya weld alum yet?.. might need some risers on my top yoke

[Azrael]

Ok, here's where we're at.

We are expecting the XY table to get here fri week (subject to the 250k finace thingy) at the latest (here's hoping) and we have to get all the 3phase put in before then so as soon as the power is sorted im into the ally.
An when i say into the ally i mean this..

We are planning to produce some bike parts in various materials off the xy table such as sprockets, bar risers, triple clamps, brake disks and possibly levers rear sets etc.
The bulk of the work being done on the table and the machining done through a mate.

The aim is to have the ability to personalise things such as disk brakes and sprockets with names logos designs etc as well as being able to make quality parts cheaper everyone.

Two ways you can help should you choose too.

1: If you have old sprockets, disk brakes or other parts for commmon or uncommon bikes lying around that i can borrow and measure to work out the spacings etc that would be most helpfull. I am keen to do mx sprockets etc too..

2: If you have any ideas that you think could be cut on an xy table and finished with welding and or machining please let me know. we will have a crack at anything..

Anyone who helps out will be rewarded with free and or cheap stuff (materials only), i have no doubt that with the collective "brains trust" we have here we could build almost anything and start making custom fabrications easier and cheaper for the average punter.


Oh this is not the sole purpose of us buying an xy table, it is predominantly for industrial use so anyone who needs mass uhp water cuting done, we can cut anything from 1mm to 30mm in almost any material.

What are your thoughts? Critisism welcome, we are not new to cuting shit up with high pressure water but new to xy tables..

Got a set of K2 rorors you could measure up, not uncommon I know but if you want em I can post them over.

I'm going to be stripping the 1400 over june and lee is doing the same to the XJR so we will both have sprockets, torque arms, oil cooler covers and anything else like that. I might hit you up for some better bar risers and headlight mounts?

What are your thoughts?

I have some bits you can play with
and apart from that the new job I have been offered could pave the way for mucho money making!

[Azrael]

Cheers gibbo, anthing non local or even local may be easier to just measure all the vitals and send me the details if youve got a spare 20 min?
Bar risers and headlight mounts should be no probs mate, and yeh any other bits ya got draw em with measurements or ill come do it and i can start making a parts list.

[Funkenfresh]

tom i got some flat bars on my bike as pictured below... they clamp onto the top of the forks above the top yoke.. i need them made a bit longer and bent back at the ends before the clutch perch and front resivour perch thing... but you can also use them to copy up some universal bars!? which could be an alternative to risers on top yokes..

[Azrael]

Looks good, i like the idea of doing the top yoke and bar risers or bar forward mounts in one peice

Ill be out at the workshop from about 11 today but if thats a home/unridable job let me know when its cool to pop over for a looksee

[MuNch]

Noice workshop lots of stuff to do your bits.

Hopefully my headlight doesn't give ya too much trouble there mate.

[Azrael]

Nah shouldnt be a prob, got Abels bars to do too, just got in from riding, what a great day! We gotta get you lads back on the road asap.

[Eukanuba]
