It has not been planned to make them generally available since we don't have that kind of organization (production, logistics, suppose one needs bullet-proof legal coverage or something as well).

Perhaps a way to get them out there would be to share cad files...  That way people who are keen (I'm keen) could use the files to get them made locally.

haha nice try...I think he's trying to get a business starting with this.

OP - very nice triple though.  I'm pretty sure lots of people want them, but I have this question in mind is that I wonder if people necessarily need it to be able to place their clipons above the triple because hey have done it with out any problems (especially with the Motowheels clipons).  If I have money I would be your partner though.  Anyways, If you think I don't know what I am talking about then nicely comment haha  [laugh]

I'd love to have the CAD files as well  ;D
Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe

I'd be game for a triple as well, assuming 53 mm.

Perhaps if he would sell/donate the CAD file we could check with a few members here to see about doing a batch. [thumbsup]

Hello, all.

As I think I've already mentioned, I'm glad you like the triple ;)

I'm not really thinking about making a business out of this, as mentioned above I don't really have the business and marketing background to do that.
I'm checking with a bit some people how to proceed, and also with the people who have helped me. If in the end we decide to put the CAD files up, I would still like to have some kind of control, and some assurance that any use would be on a purely idealistic basis.

Also, I'm a bit concerned about the legal implication; I would have to be really sure I would not be in any way responsible for what might happen somewhere, somehow where one of these triples might happen to be somewhere close by .... ??? 

I'd like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year, with lots of fun Duc-related or otherwise!!! [beer]

Panic in Lower Triple park has been added ...





Maybe a bit more of conservative safety factor engineering than modern, controlled-flex technology, but what the hell .... it's just a Monster 900  ;)

Thanks, I think they came out alright  :) The machining is really good, wish I could do something like that.

The holes are for a steering damper bracket. S'pose you'd only need two, but now the bracket could be to either side.

Just to finish this topic: The first lower triple has been put in place:



The bracket for the steering damper also worked OK, even if the bracket itself is not really CNC-quality:



Had I made the triples just for myself they would have been a bit thinner everywhere, and had I found suitable M7 screws they would also have been a bit slimmer, byt by and large I'm quite happy. As they are, the set is only slightly heavier stan stock.

I also took the opportunity to put in tapered rollers from http://shop.marksman-ind.com/ , but I have not had the opportunity to test the set-up yet.  Hope it will be OK, first test will be the last track day of the year  :)
