Not too difficult to mod the original program once \i am happy with them. Any progress with these at all? (to be fair, its not like they are holding up the progress of my build, the inconvenient timing of christmas is managing that all on its own!!) im just curious and wanted to see this thread at the top of the page again!

heds954 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Forgive me for being a nay-sayer but aren't these actually of no practical use whatsover? Unless the cups are attached to the chain adjuster blocks or fork bottoms they perform no useful purpose at all and are merely adding unsprung weight and are akin to the blue anodised tat you find decorating your average Suzuki. Erm, wouldn't you need a longer spindle as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixerboy1 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Any progress with these at all? (to be fair, its not like they are holding up the progress of my build, the inconvenient timing of christmas is managing that all on its own!!) im just curious and wanted to see this thread at the top of the page again! I have drawn a set up and am just waiting for a machine to become free, which may be a while, we are 6 weeks behind on work at the moment. Erm, wouldn't you need a longer spindle as well? The parts are only 3mm thick where the spindle goes through them, I think most spindles would be ok with an extra 6mm between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrc45 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I can do any size if I have the size of the spindle head and nut, but I will start with zxr750m ones as I can measure them myself. Hi, You have pm. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 1 out of over 30 post .....says a lot. You're right. It says that a lot of people want to add nice looking anodised bits to their bike which serve them no purpose whatsoever. As an engineer sie, what EXACTLY did you study in engineering?

Adam Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 You're right. It says that a lot of people want to add nice looking anodised bits to their bike which serve them no purpose whatsoever. As an engineer sie, what EXACTLY did you study in engineering? Instead of a pair of cones, why not just make 1 cone and a threaded adjuster block. You'd still have to modify the spindle so you can turn it rather than it being keyed into the adjuster block.

Must admit its a pet hate of mine. People calling themselves engineers when they are not. I am a machinest, not an engineer, but you try telling that to 99% of the people I work with and I am more qualified than 99% of them! The other per hate is people calling digital calipers digital verniers. Vernier is a scale, not a measuring instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyfumi Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Unless the cups are attached to the chain adjuster blocks or fork bottoms they perform no useful purpose at all and are merely adding unsprung weight and are akin to the blue anodised tat you find decorating your average Suzuki. Actually, the cups stay with the axle (sometimes with a circlip to hold them on), they are as much to grab hold of and pull the axle out in a fast tyre change as they are for locating the socket. I do agree with you however, that most will be aesthetic only (without captive nuts, spacers etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
