Conceptually what I want are fork mounted driving lights that integrate with fork stanchion protectors. Think World Crosser fork protectors with light housings molded in. Heck, while I'm at it a vertical string of amber LEDs would be nice too. I'm hoping to "prototype" something along these lines later this summer using my soon to arrive 3D Printer.
I'm all ears about that 3D prototype printer. More than a passing interest in the concept, having seen a number of documentaries on them over the past couple of years. Did have a webpage for a company based in HK that were doing a interesting design, and very keen pricing on the models. However when the work computer crashed, we/I lost all the book marks and haven't been able to find the same company since.
Being here in mainland China, with several imported motorcycles, I've often needed that one little replacement part that can't be sourced locally or if it can, the prices are ridiculously expensive. Even when I'm in NZ or OZ, parts for motorcycles and what have you are expensive due to lack of economic leverage. If only it was possible to make the small item myself, has been my thought. Despite being in a country which seems to have garnered a lot of the worlds manufacturing, sourcing anything made here isn't often as simple. Most manufacturing is all about big big runs, not little one off's, not to mention anything of the loss of nouns in the translation between English and Mandarin.
OK, back to the regular programming...
Nice looking lights and interesting placement.
