RZ fork brace
Boring
the holes for the fork slider tubes.
Setting
up the brace for milling the fender curve. Here's a larger
view, and a view from the back showing the
required clamping.
Cutting
the fender curve on the rotary table. Yep, that's a face mill, not
an end mill. It's the only cutter I had at the time that was long
enough. Now I have a shell end mill, much quicker.
Here's another view.
Facing
the brace. Note the clamping plugs in the holes - they get milled
at the same time.
The
finished brace, including the collars for the dust caps.
Mounted
and ready for action.
