Lamedog Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 As I'm watching Mille108 handcraft a beautiful new bike, I seem to recall a similar effort by Paul Minnaert to machine custom pork-chops for his race bike. I searched but cannot find. Was this a dream? Gotta say, both Mille and Paul set a high standard, but makes me proud of the tribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamedog Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 these? Indeed Paul - Those be they. The context is lacking a bit - Why (other than to shame those of us that purchase and bolt up, rather than truly create)? I take it these were used for the V12 project bike to support the different tail section and reaction rod? Or was this about weight? They are beauties - but I miss the holes. I'm probably alone in thinking the 90's Daytona "Porkchops" were a masterwork. I can understand they were at odds with the V11 side panel design. But I regret their loss. Especially the holes.

Thanks for sharing... Well the reason to make these was because I needed a different pivot point for the swingarm, it is moved 60 mm to the gearbox, and a bit down. This to have a longer swingarm, I extended that 70mm. While I was doing it, I made the footrest mounting adjustable. My footrests are where the swingarm pivot is on the v11. Yes the holes, I had a long thought and didn't make them in. The hole in the frame isn't the best painted part, and after so much years with hole, I wanted to close it.

The pork chops on the Daytona & 1100 Spot were glorious, but CNC'd billet is more expensive to make than the machined castings found on the spineys from the Sporti forward. It has been a dream of mine to repop the Spot-style pork chops in the correct offsets to fit on the '01+ Sport & its derivatives [like my '03 LM], with threads & screw on caps so that the hollow center can be used for packing a lunch or tools or something. Extra fuel? Anything to lower the c.g! Idle vanity, I know, but wonderful to dream about, esp. after seeing Paul's efforts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 the daytona porkchops do fit on the newer bikes, only needs an spacer from 20 mm behind it each side. And something for the tail frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamedog Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Mille - Again you're killing me. Pork Chops and Sweet Potatoes both! Seriously pretty.
