Love it :o

I saw your RD horn bracket on your 400, I think it was you wasn't it? Looked brilliant and I clocked that you'd said you printed it. I was in the LC club for a while, had a belter of an LC but sold it to pay the rent one month :-[ :-[ :'(    as you do!

If only we'd had these printers back then i could have printed some gold to buy more pistons for it, it was ace ;D

Yes that was me




Always loved the that part of the 350lc


 
It was a classic bit of style

And just had to have it on my CB400F

Just had to print a bespoke horn cover to suit like you do

Best wishes Al

"Hi K2-K6

Just been thinking and if I add two bearings like the wheel bearing set up with a spacer tube etc on the disc carrier that will solve the possible sideways movement as the unit would be clamped in place by the wheel spindle like the wheel itself And to stop any rotation movement just need a set of bosses on the end that snuggly fit between the Cush drive  bosses cast on the inside of the hub assembly

May also add a rubber some rubber dampers to stop any possible rattles due to slight movement of the disc carrier in the wheel hub  (like a cush drive) as I can print custom rubber inserts"

Yes that's how I see it as the disc plate virtually running autonomously on it's own bearing set around the axle and taking drive as you say from the wheel to transmit torque from one to the other. A little less demanding than sprocket as it's only got to resist torque one way, as opposed to drive chain with both power and engine braking effects, but would make civilised  :) job of it with some rubber for just a small amount of compliance to remove any clatter.

Are you intending to put the caliper hanger on the spindle to, in place of the outermost spacer? An under slung one could just link straight to the torque arm then.

K2-K6:
To add, there's some interesting double row wheel bearings used in front wheel drive car rear wheel stub axle location that may be of interest as a single ready made easily available unit that seem to have the right potential dimensions.
