    Size and ergonomics look good :)

    Modelled the bakside and printed both parts: Printing the clamp lying down wasn't a good idea.. Both because of finish and strength: The housing turned out ok, one of the threaded holes was a bit off. I'll correct it and print new ones. The clamp I'll print lying on its side.

    I designed and rendered Version 1 of the switch housing. I'll 3D print one tomorrow to see if it seems OK.

    Thanks, but I think this was a badly phrased question on my part :/ Some of the aluminum casting has broken off, and the threads are gone with it: There's too little thread left to hold the bolt properly. Usually, I would use some strong reinforced filler. But I'm afraid it wont expand at the...

    Awesome, thanks! I think the three-button version on the picture below would be the best option:

    I'm looking to replace the switchgear. I need 3 buttons (non-latching push-buttons) on each side. The setup I currently have looks like this: I don't like the ergonomics at all.. especially the button on the back is a pain to reach with gloves. I know they have another version that looks...

    Couldn't resist trying to make my first 3D printed part for the bike :D First, I made a 3D model in Fusion 360: 2021-03-22_09-53-00 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr Then printed it. The print quality is awful, because of low quality setting and bad preparations. Just wanted to test if the...

    Well.. stuff always seem to happen. My father in law bought a Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D printer a while ago. He was the one who printed the "speedo converter" I designed: IMG_20200416_223222 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr I ended up with another solution, but at least I now know I have the...

    Thought the Cognito Moto design of the indocator lights were much prettier than the big lights I used the last time. Drilled holes for 3mm 3V Leds, countersunk the holes 2mm and tested. Pretty satisfied. I did a test at a spot where I'm gonna remove material for the Mini anyway, just in case...

    Did a quick photoshop of what the triple would look like with the Mini and lights. I first did some sanding on the triple to brake up the shapes and to match the "design" with the tank and tail. I think I'll go with this. Top Triple by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr

    I don't know if this makes sense to you, but I wanted to see if I could fit the Motoscope mini into the GSXR-triple. When I bought the Mini, the plan was to use the original front. Then the new triple would have looked like this: 1ce10b547c10b4652240c67235888d93 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr...

    As you can see in the previous post I've used some high level CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) to visualize the placement of the fender. The fender is an aftermarket fender for the ducati Monster, and originally looks like this: Ducati Monster fender by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr Since I'm using...

    Today I put together the fork to see what it's like. Seems pretty short without the weel, but I like the look. I'm putting on some shorter mounts for the headlight to get rid of the gap when looking at it from the side. IMG_2814 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr IMG_2817 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on...

    Got a couple of hours in the shed today. First task was cleaning the calipers from the new forks. I'm going to paint them black, so they will have to be really clean. All pistons move ok, and the pads are not too worn. Maybe I'll change pads anyway, now that they are out. It feels better to know...

    Made a new drawing of the front wiring. The current setup is a bit messy, and with the new fork/headlight, I just as well redo it all. Too many wires together makes the loom stiff, and I'm grouping the wires by maximum five.I'm also running the wires inside the clip-ons this time, including the...
