Handmade Crash Protectors- Frame and Swingarm
Posted: Fri Aug 30, 2013 10:38 am
During my summer break from studies I worked in an industrial workshop. So I learned basic usage of the lathe.
I decided to make my own crash protectors, not just for money saving, but for the joy of creativity. The material I used is Ertalon and stainless steel. I measured and gave dimensions by myself.
This is the assembly in Solidworks.
