Title: Windscreen Drive Gear
Post by: West Aussie Glen on October 14, 2020, 08:36:40 AM
I have had several request for the electric screen assembly from the 1300 I am parting out. A few have only needed the drive gear on the motor. A new member, Adrian72, decided to get his mate with a CNC to make some. The first one is due off the milling machine within the next week. Once it is has been checked out Adrian is looking at a batch run. Unfortunately even with a batch run and due to the intricate machining they will be expensive but a lot cheap then buying a complete assembly from Honda. So if you need one watch this space.

Interesting, we're looking at manufacturing them this side as well, but using a different production method, CNC machining is too intricate and costly.

Shall be interested to see what you come up with.

I had to follow this up yesterday and Adrian talks about them being available soon. Yes CNC will make them expensive but very cheap compared to having to buy a complete assembly.

Have a look at this  :thumbsup    BikeQuip is looking to manufacture the troublesome screen adjustment gear which wears out.    Steve at BikeQuip continues to support the ST community with high quality and useful products.

I met with a leading local AM (Additive Manufacturing) supplier yesterday to discuss the gear. The finished product should be both durable and affordable. SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) in SS seems to be the preferred choice, but this may change. Some machining will be required after the process to bring selected faces down to size. I will keep you guys posted.
