R1150GS ... they still have "it", don't they?

Ok, I’ll get my new one off down to my 3D printing chap to see :-

1. If he can do them
2. If they look shit or not! :D
3. How much they will cost me. Then you. :green gri

You’ll have to give me a couple of weeks to get this organised then I’ll let you know. :thumb2
I don’t know if he’s even in the country or not. He’s retired and spends a lot of his spare time travelling about.
 
I'm somewhat late coming to this, but would appreciate it if you would add me to the "interested" list please Udders. :thumb2
 
My best view, going away

Helga is an ABS-2 non servo bike, I'm told that this is the best batch of the lot, & has gone in for some work this autumn: time for a WILBERS shock rebuild, replacement front wheel (rattly brake dics on the old wheel due to elongated bolt holes) and new engine bars by SW-MOTECH after a couple of low speed drops in stupid lanes :blast

After a full service and some T&C I'm sure that this bike will see me through many more miles, currently on 67k (so just run in).

You had me until you gave it a name??!!
Naming bikes for me is up there with furry adhesives on helmets.
You are great with a typewriter though 👍
 
I'd have one of those dash panel thingy's as well if a batch is being made (y)
 
Put my name down for one too please. If there's still a list going, and you'll ship over here.
 
Righty ho, I’ve contacted my 3D printing chap and he has a shiny new 3D printer that can do up to 36cm cubed so that’s good news. :thumb2
He’s quite looking forward to the challenge of the unusual shape too.
The only down side is that he’s away touring until the 15th September. :blast
Hey ho, all good things come to those who wait.
I’ll send my new spare one down to him. He will have a measure, try a few experiments and send me a prototype to see if it’s any good.
I’ll let those interested know the results. :thumb2

Might be worth while sending a used beak as well (if you can get hold of or borrow one ) to tweak the fit 100%

Does he do mudguards, as there have been several people asking me where they could get one for the 17” front wheel conversion.?

I would think they would be too big for his printer. I will as the question when he gats back from his holiday though. :thumb2
 
Nope. A very nice chap on here ( Mike O ) used to get them made but that stopped a while ago unfortunately. I may take mine off and send it to a chap I know who does excellent 3D printing to see if he can make them.
You may be extremely lucky and find one on here second hand but they very rarely come up for sale. I would like another one to save me taking mine off to see if they can be duplicated. Not happened for yonks though. :blast

I still have the mould to make more - but my chap from Lotus needed at least 10 orders to make them. We tried to find 10 a few years back, when a couple of people asked, but I guess I must have saturated the market...

If anyone here is a fibre-glasser who wants it, I'm happy to send it to them if they pay postage...
