Project started
December 2020,
See the CAD version here
After completing Cadbike49 I am now back to work on Cadbike
56, the next part will be the horseshoe oiltank. I will be making
this from scratch as I want it to follow the lines of my modified
frame with even gaps between tank and frame. I also want it
to fit the most commonly available battery (14 amps) so that
I can easily get a replacement when traveling if neccesary.
Finally I want to add an internal oilfilter and internal oillines.
|
I sacrificed an old Shovelhead oiltank to use the oilfilter
mount, this is a lot quicker than making the part. I just roughly
cut it out with the angle grinder, removed the bits I didn't
need and sandblasted the part I was going to use. Did a quick
laserscan after that. |
In CAD I devided the oiltank into several pieces adding tabs
and slots for easy assembly, and sent all the files off to be
lasercut. |
All the bits arrived today from the lasercutter, so now I
will tack it all together and make the internal oillines before
final welding, which I will leave to someone who welds better
than me, haha |
