working on designing a set of rearsets for my X1. Once finished they will be black anodized.

any input on the design - this is what i have so far.

If you extend the Rt Side heal guard down you would have a place to mount the master cylinder.

planning on the master mounting behind the rt side guard... there should be enough room.

Are you replacing the right side frame plate?
I presume that you are bushing the control levers

no. not replacing the frame plate.
Yes, bushings and bearings in everything.

is there an advantage of separating the levers from the pegs? mounting the lever pivots under the peg mounts and moving the pegs in another 0.500"

I cannot think of a downside to doing that

Moving inboard can make it tight on hips and knees and ankles - and close quarters for big feet. Unless you're using it on track and need the lean angle...I'd take the extra space before tucking them in tighter.

You want to be able to swivel the foot pegs independent of the lever position, for best angle.

figured i would at least see if i liked the new peg location.... here are some pics of the prototypes-

coming out of the machine





cleaned up and ready to try out.









im sure some if not a lot will change. This is only revA

That is freakin' awesome. you're a lucky dude having access to that kinda tech. Things sure have changed since "back in the day."

How long did that take to print?

I do like the riding position better... but also have some small tweaks to make here and there.

The ability to prototype like that is so absolutely stunningly cool. If its "affordable" that is.
If one printed an aluminum version, would the strength be more comparable to a cast item, or closer to that of a machined from billet item?
Can the digital file of the prototype be converted to a CNC machine-readable file to make one from billet?

I was under the impression that he prints the protos and cnc's the finished items. I could be wrong though. Marc?

It all depends what you call affordable... lol. For the hobbyist what im using to print it not really affordable, unless you have a small home version of a printer like a maker bot or something.

I do not do any 3D metal sintering (printing) at this time. The machines are very expensive ($ million or so) and part prices are crazy... its basically used for the aerospace and medical industry right now and most parts still require post machining afterwards. Where my friend works, he has a couple metal machines and says they are mostly headaches at this time. The metal printed parts are said to be as good if not better then a casting. Right now the new PW turbo geared fan engine will have a printed blade in the cold side. Pretty cool and scary at the same time.

The cad file that i am drawing these in can output as a STL which is what most if not all printers use. Then I can use the same cad file to output as a solid and program on my cam software.

Once i have the design all test fit using the prototype pieces, then ill machine them.

Very impressive. Now, if you could design a set to replace the "boomerang" on my '00 X1 which would allow me to have GP shift- I'd buy 'em!

The boomerang and linkage is there to eliminate a gp shift. A direct shifter will accomplish your goal.

Yes, I am searching (so far unsuccessfully) for something to replace the boomerang set-up so I can have GP shift- got any recommendations?

Marc,

How does that machine work? In the first picture it almost looks vacu-formed like all of the parts are connected in one big sheet?

Its a stainless vat roughly 21" x 21" x 24" deep and its filled with a photo polymer liquid resin. There is a build platform (the perforated metal). This is mounted on a vertical elevator system that works its way down into the resin. The platform starts out at the surface of the resin. There is a UV laser that has X and Y mirrors what shoot up to an overhead mirror that reflects the beam into the vat. Only were the laser draws do the resin cure to a solid. Then the platform drips .004" or .006" and draws the next layer. Once its drawn all the layers the elevator rises which is what you see in the first picture as the parts are still covered in the surrounding liquid resin.

Only thing I would recommend would be making them adjustable for the location of the footpeg/pivot. This may not be an issue if have already test fit and like the position. If you are making these to sell that would be a nice feature.

Looks great!
