Built from scratch: 250R

[sticker_sääp]

Update for today...

The cones that came out from my excle spreadsheet were drawn in my CAD programm to get different measurements for the fitting of the final pipe which will be bent in different dimensions.



That information was used to design the pipe around my trike. A small steel tube with some styrphor circles was bent around the frame to find a way through the trike with enough clearance:

Sorry i dont have a picture with this dummy pipe on my trike...



We improvised a 3d scanner with 3 rulers for X Y and Z axis and imported the form of the steel tube into the CAD by measuring 30 points.

This will be the the base for the CAD model:

Now some computer magic from me:

Finished CAD model:

Computermagic part 2:

Draw off the cones fur



That was done 32 times and all cones were printed for a test fit:



The result was a catastrophy i am better with sheet metal than with paper



Netxt try with stronger paper:

The data was sent to my employer for the laser cutting and the waiting time was used to disasamble the trike for the final welding and the paintjob:

Final welding job:

All the levers for brake gearshifter and so on were blacksmithed in my stove:



For the next few steps this baby machined by Loizl (props to him at this point) will be used:



But that is another story i will post within the next days... thats all for today

^ nice custom slip roll.

Yeah it worked great and this weekend it will be used to roll the next exhaust...

Question to all the shock and suspension freaks: has anyone ever used a rearshock with a reservoir upside down?

I did it on this built and it works great till now. But i think there must be a reason why the reservoir is allways on top

Wow, what an awesome project! Nothing like building it yourself

If the shock is in good shape, doesn't leak, was bleed correctly and charged correctly you can run it in any position you want.

What is the issue?

The Suzuki quads use the shock "upside down" having the reservoir hose mounting at the "bottom" of the shock.

Amazing build!!! I'm EXTREMELY envious of what you have to work with! "Oh I couldn't afford to just go out and buy an intake so I made one while I was sipping coffee and reading the newspaper one morning" lmao

Ok, cause i got that statment from you two, i will go on with this setup and stop looking for a replacement shock.

Thank you It does not hapen while i am sipping coffe. That whole level of the shown engineering/building/machining skills that created this trike is the result of a great team of the best mechanics, welders and so on that supports me. We have some kind of skill network that helps out each other.
