That's the bit to machine off.
The r6 calipers have a step which fits into the top of the spacer. The original nissin calipers bolt to the fork leg without any insert, just flat to flat. Doesn't seem ideal. It that's how they are.
Had thought about removing a small part of the thread in the fork bottom for the shoulder of the spacer to fit.

Re: Finding a lathe person
It's fine I'm happy to do it so long as you're happy.

Re: Finding a lathe person
No that's fine, I just need to come up with a way to mount them without marking them up.
They will need to be clamped in the lathe jaws but there are ways to mitigate any potential scuffs or dings.
I am assuming they are anodised aluminium. The bottom face will of course end up flat and lose its surface finish.

Re: Finding a lathe person
They are done and on the way back to you. Can’t post pics, still waiting for Vodafony to fix my broadband.

Re: Finding a lathe person
I turned a spare alloy bar to include a small nub that was a snug fit inside the spacer. Superglue the spacer, turn to dimension then hit with a torch to disconnect the glue.
Let me see if I can hack together a picture post, broadband still out and there are complications with hotspot (on this old system I am in the midel of replacing).

Re: Finding a lathe person
You’re welcome. I will be doing a lot more jobs like this, hopefully filming for YouTube etc.
Sadly my broadband and main system are down so no pics, no vids this time.
Perhaps you could recommend me to anyone else who needs work like this?

Re: Finding a lathe person
I would certainly recommend you if anyone wanting Lathe work done. You made them risers for me a couple of years ago for my front Paddock stand when i got the Thundercat. More than HappyScrewdriver wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 1:40 pm
