I'm working on an 84 700S. The side plastic, fairing, and a few other plastic parts are showing their age, especially around the mounting areas. I'm a mechanical engineer with tons of 3D modelling experience and some 3D printing experience. Has anybody ever used 3D printing to recreate parts as faithfully as possible or potentially created their own designs for some of the bodywork? Anybody interested access to 3D printed parts?
Aside from bodywork, I've had a few other ideas: The very unique petcock knob for the 84-86 700S petcock. This could be very easily printed although I wouldn't be able to recreate the plasti-chrome finish. The fuel strainer that goes inside the tank. Ebay wants $40 for this thing. I could print a functional copy for a few bucks worth of material. I just need to figure out the right material (probably nylon) and cover it with any old fuel strainer sock material. Basically any other plastic part that would fit inside a 6" x 6" x 6" space. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
