The LED headlights on the Lynx weren’t that bright and I thought it would be cool to have a light bar so I picked one up off Amazon and attached it to the front bumper with some foam tape. Then I ran into a bit of an issue, I wanted […]

Carisma Lynx Mods
It’s too cold for painting race bike fairings in the trailer so I’ve been tinkering with the Carisma SCA-1E Lynx ORV RC crawler. I was searching around on yeggi and Thingiverse for a roof rack but then realized that it would block access to the body clips on the roof. […]
Hunter 400 V-Tail Quad
It has been too cold for me to paint the fairing for the CBR600RR and not long ago I found a deal on Kijiji for a drone kit that I couldn’t pass up so I have been putting in some time on the drones lately.I don’t care to remember how […]
CBR600RR Rebuild 5
There’s not a lot of room in the trailer for painting the wheels and I wanted to be able to rotate them and preferably be able to get to both sides while painting rather than do one side and then turn it over. I found a tube in the garage […]
3D Printing SV650 Parts
To install the little bikini fairing on the SV650 I needed to find a way to mount the rev counter and find some bulbs and connectors. For the clocks I decided to try and clamp them to the screen type part of the fairing and after several iterations this is […]
KYB Fork Protector
One of the fork protectors was missing off the 2007 YZ250F and they are about $25 for a new one. I figured I’d design and print one and see if it would stay in place on the track. Quick model drawn up in Onshape. Printed in PLA for now simply […]
48mm Fork Seal Sliders
Coincidentally, both sets of forks on my dirt bikes were 48mm and both needed new seals. I drew up these seal sliders incorporating a groove in the OD that was intended for a tie wrap to hold the two halves together. Most often these are made from metal that has […]
3D Printer Plate Setup
In this article I’ll go over a few things I learned while setting up a Prusa style 3D printer, probably a lot of stuff will relate to other printers as well. Once you have your printer built (if it was a kit) and running, the first and perhaps most important […]
KTM Shock Spring Adjust Tool
After the success with the fork cap wrench I figured that I might be able to make a strong enough tool to adjust the rear shock spring, when setting the sag for example. The first tool was a little bit long so the end would foul the airbox and the […]
3D Printing
What is 3D printing? Basically this involves building a 3D shape by building up layers of material. The material is most often a plastic (PLA, ABS) filament that is extruded through a heated nozzle but all sorts of materials can be used including filament fused with wood or aluminum. When […]
