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

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..
