Yesterday went for a little trip up to the Ponderosa Cafe at Llangollen, just missed breakfast as they finish serving it at 11.15

, so had to go for the sausage, egg and chips. Bit damp on the way up there in a couple of places but nothing to make me wet. Back via Bala for a cup of tea at the cafe on the lake, beautiful afternoon 17c. 176 miles in total, I love this bike

I feel your pain being forced to go for sausage, eggs and chips.

Got an extra 15 days insurance for Kazakhstan as the idiot who is airfreighting our bike from India has taken since 30th May to fly my bike out, and it still won't get here for 2 more days.

I made a fork brace in my lunch break to see what if any difference it would make. If I can feel a benefit I will buy an aluminium one, but as I'm not 100% sold I thought I would try a free version

That needs to fit lower down on the fork legs below the dust seals, and not on the moving part.

(Looks good by the way)

There could be a reduction in front suspension travel. If you lived closer I could have advised sooner.

I think that will make quite a bit of difference!!

Ahh yes I see what you mean, good thing I haven't been out yet

What 3d printed goodies do you have? STLs?

graingerblaze · « **Reply #9054 on:** June 21, 2019, 19:35:03 »

Hello bigpie, I have modelled all the various bits (in Solid Works) so can export in almost any file format. I have a Prusa printer which as you suggest uses STL files, your welcome to any I have done

To date I have printed:

Givi Crash Bar Clamps
Givi Crash Bar connector & Spacer
LED brackets to suit the Givi Bars
Swingarm bobbins

I have photos of them across various posts, can email you the CAD if preferred

Went for a short ride (on my own, without "The Renegades"). First time it's been dry for two weeks.
