Cadbike 41 project started 23 March 2008 Pen and pencil version made in 1988
In 1988 I did a sketch of a bike with pen and pencil; For fun I will make a 3D CAD version of it now, 20 years later!
18 April 2012 Re-rendered all the images in Keyshot 8 July 2008 Added midcontrols and brake and clutch lines 24 June 2008 Added forkrubbers, handlebar comtrols rear brakelines, footrests, beltcover 17 June 2008 Added fuelvalve, fuelline and "chinspoiler" plus some small details. 3 June 2008 Added oillines & spark plug wires and added rivets to the wheels... 27 May 2008 Added rear chain and sprockets, modified frame to clear chain, added front brake and rear oiltank mount. 20 May 2008 Added front and rear lights, added seat and kicker-pedal and other small details 13 May 2008 Worked on seat, clipons rear brake disc and scallops 6 May 2008 Completed rear pipe, modified frame to make room between lower frame rails for pipes, worked on belt, rear axle, tank, kickstarter 29 April 2008 Worked on rear brakes, added carb started on pipes that run between the lower frame rails to allow extreme cornering without scraping the ground 22 April 2008 Made the gastank with cutouts to wrap around the engine, made fork trees, modified frame neck and front motormount 15 April 2008 Modified frame further to match sketch, added oiltank, primary belt, forklegs and made the swingarm a little bit thicker..... 8 April 2008 I lowered the frame a bit under the seat, added old style Brembo brake calipers and brake disc, and added valvecovers. 2 April 2008 I added an extended swingarm, wheels and rear shocks, using the old 1988 drawing as a guideline all the time. 25 March 2008 I used some CAD models I had made for previous projects, such as the swingframe, Shovelhead engine and 4-speed gearbox and positioned them on top of the old drawing. The wheels were a bit more difficult, the closest existing tires I could find were 210/50 x 17 rear and 120/90 x 17 front
