22-25 Triumph Project - Speed Triple Special Custom

Written on 29 June 2015.

Creation of a Triumph Speed Triple project. A custom bike from beginning to end.

Custom Cez partners up with Cristian Laoreti from CriArt (creator of Custom Cez's gas tank paint job in this episode) and they attempt in the creation of this new project, a Triumph Speed Triple special custom.
Since I'll be documenting the project from beginning to end I've decided to divide the process into four main sections:

SECTION 1 - Body WOrk

we will document the body work, so the creation of the tail out of sheet metal.

What did we do:

disassembly of all the speed triple plastic parts
removal of the tail's electrical system
scheduling of all modifications
Speed Triple tail shortening , transformation one seater
cardboard shaping of the tail, muck up
sheet metal work
shrinker and stretcher techniques for 3d compound shaping
bending sheet metal
welding sheet metal

Section 2 - MACHINING THE NEW PARTS

we take care of the design and machining of the new parts for this project, made out of billet aluminum. We'll start with some considerations on the design and CNC limitation and proceed with the creation of a few parts from the design to the finished product.

What did we do:

design in 3d software of parts
concepts of extrusion and subtraction of solids
considerationof CNC machine limitations
machining of new parts
cleaning and finishing of the newly made parts
assembly

Section 3 - Part 1 & 2 - THE electronics

will be all about the electronics needed to power the new parts, including the replacement of the existing instrument cluster.

What did we do:

arduino programming
pcb design considerations
cnc machining of pcb boards for prototyping purposes
powder coating of the accessories
pcb assembly
Lake Champlain ride
North Brooksfield High School lecture
pcb waterproofing with conformal coating

Section 4 - Part 1 & 2 - Painting and assembly

and finally, in this 4th and final SECTION we'll take care of painting, assembly and unveiling in front of the bike's owner... hopefully he'll like it!
