Hello everybody. I present to you my latest specific work for vmax 1200.

 

[Fire-medic]

Two different-design ones, done someplace at a lower latitude than I am-at: 25.7 degrees north. My guess from the background.

Arlen Ness had ones of a similar profile. Narrow, with a lot of 'sweep-back,' for large round headlamps.

Well, I would say they are very different. I don't know how long Arlen Ness took, but I have 3 years of designing, modeling, tweaking and cursing on mineThe first major difference is that mine is integrated into the frame, so it won't turn with the wheel. As soon as I finish the painting, I publish some photos when it is installed. Thanks for having me Made discover that of Arlen Ness

Glad you made that distinction because there are a lot of Italians living in the United States!

Nice work!

Thanks desert_strike. Yes, what you say is very true, it is precisely for this reason that I have specified that I live (unfortunately) in Italy. Italians are like weeds: you can find them everywhere

Yes. My ex-wife was a Bronx Italian. Her mother and father came from Naples after World War II.

thanks, I appreciate your words. I don't know how many hundreds of hours of work there are for every little detail. a real challenge, a journey that lasted years that finally comes to an end

Hahahaha, in fact it looks like a mandolin! . Thank you for the comment. Soon we will publish the photos of the complete bike

 

[Jgas]

Curvy. Sexy. Like a full figured italian lady. But not fat!

Now if you could only make it hold fuel it would be perfect!

hahahaha, remember that in Italy you eat a lot and well, and this lady had to make terrible sacrifices to stay in perfect shape!

I went to the assembly with all the difficulties of the case, due to the modification of the position of the controls and instruments. I especially wanted to point out the two support brackets Of the front fairing, which made me waste days and days of planning and realization. All to avoid having any visible screws or bolts.
I forgot: in order not to ruin the original wire cover cups, I rebuilt them in fiberglass, and since I was there, I harmonized the curves of that side of the ignition lock

Are you a sculptor? Bodywork fabricator? I assume you are making this in a mold. When you can i would love to see the process. I use to make precast stone which was invented in Italy and the best stonemasons and moldmakers go there to learn. The owner of my old company trained there.

Hi Jgas, lo, the answer is none of this. I am a 3D designer and draftsman but I have spent most of my life dealing with telecommunications. Mechanics and the realization of Special parts, have been a passion of mine since I was a kid, but I learned everything from myself, with no one to guide me, and in the years in which There were no tutorials on the internet yet. My vmax has.moote special parts made by me, but at home I have 5 bikes and the time to modify them all is never enough. For the manufacturing technique you guessed it: in this case I made the prototype with different techniques, and on it I made the mold, but Subsequently I made many changes on the first master made, and consequently now it would be necessary to make a new mold, in case I wanted to produce others. Anyhow, Even working in such a complicated mold is not easy at all.
