Pretty cool. It's actually quite hard to get your leg out of the knee support and foot down in a hurry. As you tend to kneel more than sit, putting your foot down means sitting, getting your knee up and throwing the leg out sideways.

I'm getting a quote on another set of custom wheels made. The wheels are 13" wide with an 18" rim. The offset will suit my current build and tyres will be Vee Rubber 360's. The largest motorcycle available. This is one the the important steps I need to do if I want to get a roadworthy here in Australia. The bike should handle a lot better also. I'll use the Hoosiers for Comic Cons and remove the necessary roadworthy parts... that arent hidden in the build.

Hey Brad, got your info thanks! I actually had seen those as well. Ultimately I went with a Yamaha RX1 Front shock. Its from a snowmobile. It also had and extra inch of length than yours which will work for my frame since I stretched it a tad. Its on its way so hopefully Ill have some updates for that soon. Thanks again for your help!

Got the quote for wheels today...$1895 per wheel... Then got to buy the tire... So about $5000 for two wheels and tires.. Not what I was hoping to hear.

Hey spidey,

Given your experience with 3D CNC and 3DP what would be your
recommendations for 3D CAD/CAM programs and 3D scanners.

Any opinions on MeshCAM, MeshCAM Art, Rhino5, BobCAD-CAM, or other
programs?

Hey Brad I've got one more question to pester you with. What size/diameter tube did you use for the "handlebars"? Did you use the same size for all parts starting under the frame all the way up to the grips? When ever you get a chance. Thanks in advance.

Im not happy with mine. It flexes a little more then I'd like. I went as close as possible to 22mm. to match a standard motorcycle handle bar for the entire section. I should have probably used a better grade steel. Possible future project.

Thought it time to move along a little. Did some finishing work and painting on the arm guards. Should have the controller cover finished shortly.
