Estimate for Motorcycle Part

[JAZZCNC]

I was talking about the first design didn't see the second one untill afterwards.

You have no idea how in touch I am and my considerable motorcycle engineering experience instantly said fail.!!! Death, murder man slaughter charges.!

Good luck finding a real engineer who isn't bothered about structural strength in favour of aesthetics and will agree to give a price based on changing design.!!

This is a 1 piece design. I don't know where you got the 2 piece from.

There is plenty of meat there for this to perform as intended and current
rear calipers on more powerful bikes are nowhere near as bulky as this
so I feel you're either out of touch or just plain wrong.

In any case, I'm looking for an engineer to work with me on this, not just an operator.

I'm only precious about the aesthetic, the engineering can be tweaked once the job is agreed.

Nope He is not out of touch you are im affraid, take it from me because this is what i do, the wall on the spindle tube just wont cut it full stop.. change your design and you may have more luck, The Aesthetic will have to be compramised in order to make a part fit for the purpose, which in this case is safety critical, I have 5 Bikes ranging from 1980-2012 the 2012 being a CBR1000 and this part is as robust as they have always been.

Dont get me wrong, I can see where you are comming from but the design needs work, and you dont do your self any favours implying people on here operators..this site is For machinists By machinists..

Oh and on a point of order adding images to your original design post just so you can come back at people who are pointing out valid points doesnt help either..

I Did look at it read my post

Stay off the thread mate. You are neither reading my posts correctly nor making any sense.

I have had 2 chaps offering help minus the attitude - as they have taken the drawing in the way it was intended - a starting point and guide - not a finished CAD/CAM file!

[JAZZCNC]

No problem but just for the record I wasn't giving attitude and my first post was offering sound advise based of experience. It was you who came back with attitude.!

Maybe you need to lighten up bit.!

I'm guessing it was the "I certainly wouldn't.!" ... a tad dismissive jazz
you may well be the GOD of whatever but I guess tact is a tad more than you can muster
ccccchill out jazz its a brand new year and you have started with the size 11's already

Was away last night so couldn't reply.

Mark we all know you don't like me and thats fine by me. . . .! But the remark you mention had no bad or dismissive meaning. It simply stated I wouldn't touch this job or give estimate or quote based on the FIRST design (which is what I originally commented on). An estimate is what the Ignorant OP wanted.

Now the really stupid part on the OP is the fact I'd have Glady helped on both design and machining the part just for the price of the material and the challenge. (Oh and if you/he doubt's this just ask the many others on the forum I've helped with machining FOC )
For the price of Ali he would have had the experience of an Honda trained engineer with over 10yrs experience working for HRC the racing and development division. I've had and tested or destroyed more custom bits thru my hands than he's had petrol thru the bike.

EDIT: And if the OP had read is PM's he'd have seen I'd offered to help before he ever showed a design.!!
So this Retard just wants to say good luck to the OP and Happy new year to every one else. .

"we all" (whoever they are) and you are under a misconception jazz, indeed there are times I see you like a lord of the rings cave troll stomping around with your size 11's and i like to on occasion offset some of what I see as heavy handedness
try not to hold that against me.

iv seen you pull this card on a few occasions jazz and it puzzles me... you pull it out whenever you have carved massive chasm of discord between yourself and your adversary ? what puzzles me is why do you bother to describe how much your adversary is missing out in not having you as a buddy ?
it seems a little pointless... is it a Yorkshire thing ?

Good luck with getting the right help mate... I am really surprised that you have received any response.

When I first saw your RFQ, I made a mental note that nobody in their right mind would respond.......... But then again, I'm not even an operator ;-)

Happy New Year, btw.

I just want to crack on - the thread has already filled up with noise.
