you can also replace the original spindle with a bolt and nut. adjust the optimal resistance by tightening the nut

I suspect that it’s spam. We look up the thing it wrote down to generate clicks to that thing.

today I wanted to show you a bit of the prototyping process. it is a long process with many corrections, so I will limit myself to a few photos. The users of the R18 First Edition will be most interested in this case, because in about 10 days the final product (large rack for a solo rider) will be available in our webshop

I got home from work a little early so...red high-temperature enamel to my muffler tips!
I know. It's a bit weird. I just always liked the look of the classic Lafranconi exhaust.
And need to be matchy-matchy with the Old Girl.

Should have painted it Pink, Red looks like that time of the month, or maybe an STD.

Perfect, exactly what I’ll need. Will it be chromed or gloss black? Where is your shop,located?

Curious minds want to know.... What brand/model number of epoxy paint is it? Does the paint hold up over the long haul? Does it discolor from the exhaust gases?

I misspoke, it’s enamel, not epoxy. It’s just rattle-can very high temperature primer then engine enamel picked up at the local auto parts store. Nothing all that special. Sprayed on after taping/masking with cardboard.
Regarding longevity, it’s the same stuff I sprayed on the Guzzi cans years ago. It’s holding up without issue. They get considerably hotter and the exhaust is much nastier than the R18.
addendum: here's exactly what I used

Will your production model be a gloss black? Also, do you have an approximate price? Could you pull back and post a photo of the rack showing the entire motorcycle?

I caught the oil cooler mesh screen bug
I went finer gauge and small interstices, stainless steel. It wasn't great to work with. Kinda floppy. But I think it looks nice. I ran a thin strip of duct tape folded over the edge on the north and south sides then bent it to 90 degrees.

Beautiful work! That's the kind of engineering that I would like to see in order to mount "driving lights" each side of the headlamp.

But having the bodies powder coated gloss black, with the lamp bezels chrome, like the OEM headlamp. With nice, gloss black tubular mounts, I think that they would sell like hot cakes.
