Here's the big benefit to the wire form buck over a solid material, you can see how close...or not close...you are. I ended up changing a couple things in the paper templates after making the wire form. Mainly... facebook.com/motomucciblog/…

Here are a couple more parts from the Dillinger line I designed for @kuryakyn. Cast aluminum luggage rack in the first photo; handguards and headlight guard in the second photo. I designed the grille on the... facebook.com/27804559221496…

Got the top of the #KTM tank formed today. Time for a cold one with the boys. And by boys I mean dogs, on the couch. - #MM300XCW #metalshaping #metalfab #motorcycledesign #streettracker #flattracker #whitebat facebook.com/motomucciblog/…

Working on a little gas cap landing zone for the KTM. Took me way too long to get the curvature right on this. Also calculated a rough tank volume in CAD now that I have both halves built. 3.2gal. Larger than... facebook.com/motomucciblog/…

I'm going to be designing a one-off headlight for the KTM so I decided to build the 701SM triples (that are going on the bike) in CAD for reference. - CAD: Rhino 6 | Rendering: Keyshot 7 - #MM300XCW #KTM... facebook.com/motomucciblog/…

Spent the past couple days working on this headlight and bracket design for the KTM. It uses Hella internals and should mount to most modern KTMs and Husqvarnas. Thinking about making them, anyone interested? -... facebook.com/motomucciblog/…

Rendered up the custom headlight and bracket I'm working on for the KTM. These will be 3D printed in ABS and use Hella Black Magic 500 internals. The goal was a large flat disc with a centered mounting point so... facebook.com/27804559221496…

This one had me sweating. Knife edge weld on thin gauge aluminum pieces that took too many hours to shape. Glad I didn't screw it up. On to the next step of this gas filler plateau thing. Designer Dave likes... facebook.com/27804559221496…

Diamond in the dust. - #MM300XCW #metalshaping #metalfab #KTM300 facebook.com/motomucciblog/…

...something like that. Extracted the trim ring out of this Rizoma gas cap and will be welding it to the inner platform.

Tank Plateau: a silent film. I should get Rodsmith Motorcycles to narrate these. - #MM300XCW #metalfab #metalshaping #custommotorcycle #industrialdesign #KTM facebook.com/motomucciblog/…

Here's a little recap of the KTM seat shaping process. Currently on its way to New Church Moto for upholstery. - #MM300XCW #KTM300 #custommotorcycle #industrialdesign #motorcycledesign #streettracker #flattracker #metalfab facebook.com/motomucciblog/…

Testing out some trick fasteners for the KTM bodywork. I think these are the winner. - #MM300XCW #KTM #metalshaping #metalfab #custommotorcycle #motorcycledesign facebook.com/motomucciblog/…

Custom KTM hubs from CAD to installation. In addition to building one-off bikes I also design high volume parts for the motorcycle industry. Reach out if you're interested in working together. - [email protected] - #motorcycledesign #Rhino6 #Keyshot #industrialdesign

Made an aluminum skid plate for the KTM the other day. Cardboard > CAD > Water jet > brake > welder > soda blaster ....and next off to anodizing. - #MM300XCW #metalfab #KTM300 #twostroke #custommotorcycle

The #MM1000GT is getting clip-ons so I designed a bracket for the Mototscope Pro gauge that repurposes the bar mount holes. Water jet from 1/8" aluminum. - #motogadget #ducati #sportclassic #gt1000 #sc1000 #metalfab #custommotorcycle facebook.com/motomucciblog/…

I spec'd the footpegs I designed for Kuryakyn's Dillinger line to come fully assembled and already painted, so you don't have to make your own from scratch. You can just buy these. - #industrialdesign #custommotorcycle #motorcycledesign #kuryakyn #dillinger #DEP
