Hi all - have been watching this video a couple of times now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnMBCyf7hLw
Does anyone know if that black lump is steel, aluminium or or maybe even titanium?

Sure,y as Tesi owner will be along shortly ![Rolling Eyes](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

It is aluminum. Probably a hi-tensile grade like Ergal (7075) or similar as there are plenty of forces acting within and on it. _________________ If I don't force my opinion onto others; I expect the same from them! |

I know a guy with a CNC machine. The temptation is real
Edit:
I have been playing around with this CAD software for a couple of evenings. Starting from zero knowledge it is actually not as hard as I had feared.

Terrific
Can you make more copies of it ?
Would you sell them ?

Hi Atomibart
I think I will make the whole assembly with front wheel and brakes before considering selling it on to someone else. It is just a personal project for my own curiosity and education.
I will start a new thread in this forum so you guys can follow along
EDIT: New thread is here -----------> new thread _________________ jsteffensen.blogspot.com
