wow this is cool! my dad got a new client to deal with his company, and they have a whole machining lab, he said he could get the owner to machine my parts for my shocks out! we sent him the files, and he is making sure all the dimensions and constraints are all okie dokie, and if thats a. ok, he is gonna cut'em out

here is what the finished product will look like, 19.5inch lt, non adjustable, threaded preload, 5/8 inch shaft, emolsion shock

that sounds cool and all, but where are you going to get the springs for it, and how did you design the valves and all of the other internals.

[450robot]

lots of time is what it took... that and i took apart a works shock to see what all was involved inside, i took it from there, measured all the parts with a micrometer and designed all the internal pistons, seals, etc. components from it

if i wanted to, i could use the works internals if i wanted, they are all the same dimensions, except the shaft length would be to short

edit, o yah, the springs will be hopefully be supplied by elka once i can get ahold of them

sounds awesome man, after you get them together and dial everything in, maybe you could start selling them on here like tinner used to see the air scoops.

haha, thanks, im really hoping everything comes out as planned, and that i can have a real working design to be proud of, ive created alot of stuff in the past, but never had anything accually made, i guess this is my first true production model haha

[450robot]

forgot the bump stop haha

So its a non rezzie model? Still a good job, Can't wait to see them done!

[bulkdriverlp]

sure, thats how chineese do it, buy something american and take it apart and duplicate all the parts. with their cheap labor they can make the same quality in a 1/4 of the price. go for it

[450robot]

yah, i will try a rezi style cap and system once i test this one, and make sure everything is functioning

[keller45]

Chinese dont use the smae quality not nearly@ look at there qusds

[450robot]

i dunno, kymco seems to be doing well

[440racer66]

[antman]
