I’ve had this mic set for awhile but I just ordered the box.

This small project is a good example of how working with a prototype shop can quickly bring a design into reality while accommodating design changes along the way. For those who are not familiar with racing motorcycles, the bracket shown is a “rear set” which moves the foot pegs back to allow the rider to get into a more aerodynamic position. Custom levers are required allow the rider to shift and activate the rear brake with his/her feet from the new peg location. This project started with the client Frank Giannini giving us the...

Shift / Brake Levers
A pair of shift / brake levers for a custom Honda 350 race bike. Solidworks model showing the inside of the lever with the bore for the bearing and internal snap ring groove. I wanted to do a test interpolating the bearing bore. The first two attempts were unsuccessful due to the snap ring grove raising a burr on the inside of the bore. On the third attempt I roughed the bore, cut the snap ring grove, then finished the bore. It’s a nice tight sliding fit. Fixturing these parts was challenging. I didn’t want to invest much time in...

The crank that raises and lowers the knee on our CNC Mill was lost somewhere before the mill came to us. After some measuring I generated a quick Solidworks model and used HSMWORKS to make the tool path. Between the “teeth” you can see some of the adaptive clearing strategy that HSMWORKS employs. I turned a nice radius on the end of some bar stock with our CNC lathe for a handle. As you can see, it fits nicely and stores out of the...
