Yes this was done in Inventor using the technology preview as it can handle assemblies. 2010 Inventor Pro does the same now but we haven't loaded it up yet do to our database management needing to be updated to handle '10. Still having to use '09 Pro for single component FEA.

Yes the parts were bonded where needed. A nice feature with the TP is that any constraints you add in the assembly model carry over into the FEA package as intended. Which is nice as it saves time building the relationship of components in FEA.

I can't remember off hand what the boundary conditions were on the static stress analysis. The frequency analysis just show the effects on the components ran under a vibe test at a given range. The top triple bore where it would mount to the frame was of course used as the structural fixed constraint just as it would be in reality.

 

I should have a screen shot with dimensions of the brace later tonight If you wanna test it.

 

PM me when you get it ready and we can discuss what all you need from the FEA (ie type of analysis, what you're looking for like safety factor, weight savings, structural rigidity, etc). I will also need to know the boundary conditions you want to run on it (forces/loads applied and where).

 

its getting there

final design

[/QUOTE]

What you people think? I like the way it looks

 

looks good.

Do the cutouts in the Coerce FB or possibly Truck's "final design" cause a wistling noise no one can hear from the saddle? What about breaking laminar flow over the fender? LOL

 

Whistling noise may prevent unwanted deer encounters.

 

Looks good, will be down for one in Red,

 

Looks good ! waiting to see it mounted with the stock fork protectors on ... and sure i will send you a PM

 

as you can see the stock fork boots can be re used. They only slide down about half as far as stock, but a few dabs of silicone should hold them in place just fine.

 

Dont forget to radius the corners of the top and bottom surfaces

 

thats just a mockup blank to make sure the spacing is correct. Dont worry the edges will be smooth.

 

Ok, Im ready to start taking orders.

I new a few orders in order to buy some tooling and have the blanks cut out.

So are there 2 or 3 people willing to pay now, so I have enough money to start up?

These people will be the first to receive the braces.

I really appreciate it people.

 

got another blank cut, just for sizing purposes. Once I receive a few orders Ill start producing the real Deal

 

I was thinkin' the same thing.

 

Truck, what is the final price and color avalaible?
Shipping to Canada...

 

Let's get'er going! I want billet triples next. No - I am serious.

 

+1

with the upper triple ready to accept some regular bars!

 

Htwin, Its 120$ USD shipped to Canada.

Satin Black, Gloss red, gloss Blue, Gloss yellow powdercoat.

Also thinking of polishing them for a Little extra if anyone is interested.

 

Ill be making myself a billet triple soon for my fat bars and rc51 forks.

Ill consider making some, but I do not currently have a mill.

 

what's the price shipped to Hawaii?...and where's the link to place an order?...

 

I've already got those designed. Let me know if you are interested and I'll post up a picture of what they look like. Adding holes for straight bars is easy like Sunday morning.

 

This is probably a dumb question but, does the install require fork removal?

 

No, not dumb at all... Yes, since they are smaller than the thick lower leg you will have to drop the fork legs out of the triples to install them... That takes a stand that lifts in the triple or creative use of a beam and some straps...
