15 CNC home made footpeg and heat shield DIY project
Custom Cez builds a foot peg and a heat shield for his kid with his home shop CNC machine.
In this 2 part episode Custom Cez creates all necessary parts to safely bring his 4 years old child on the bike, needless to say in private roads only.
Custom Cez will also test the new POLISHING KIT from LUX-METAL.COM
Part 1 - MAKING THE FOOT PEG WITH THE CNC MACHINE
Custom Cez starts with the design and machining of the support bracket trying to follow the lines of the housing of the air filter. The goal is to create a system that can disappear under the carburetor when not in use but that can be put in place quickly when necessary. That is why Custom Cez chooses to use a butterfly nut to secure the support to the bike so that it can be loosened without having to use any tools.
To make the actual peg he uses a piece of chrome tubing and a threaded bar to make the piece the least bit noticeable and at the same time cool and functional, in line with the rest of the bike.
During the episode Custom Cez tries out the new polishing kit he just bought and shows how nail polish can be an excellent paint when used in the proper areas
What did we do:
- Design
- machining of support bracket with the CNC machine
- bracket polishing
- making of the foot peg
- painting with nail polish
Part 2 - HEAT SHIELD FOR THE EXHAUST
In the second episode we make the support brackets that will hold the top and bottom anvils. The bottom one is designed for quick change of the wheel depending on the needed radius.
We start by cutting the necessary pieces to assemble the top bracket, three pieces made out of 5mm stock plate. We make the two holes on the side pannels using a press drill with a step bit.
Then we tackle the bottom wheel support, spacers and the center pin.
What did we do:
- Design
- CNC machining of the flat part
- CNC machining of the wooden discs
- bending of the part
- polishing
- installation
Part 3 - MAKING AN HARNESS
Custom Cez has realizad thet the kid could possibly fall out of the bike so he designs and fabricate an harness for less than 5 Euros forth of material that will keep his kid safely ancored to his cest.
What did we do:
- Design
- construction of the harness
- test drive
