KZ650 Gauge cluster relocation bracket was created by mossy173
Hi all! I'm working on a KZ650 resto-mod project, and wanted a way to lower the instruments, purely for aesthetics. You know, to get that "low-slung" look. I designed a 3D printed bracket that attaches to the fork tubes and provides a place to mount the gauges, thought it might be interesting to folks here. I've attached one picture, but there are more at the thingiverse website:

Wow ! Great design! Well done.
I am amazed at what what can be done with 3D printing. The only limitation seems to be ones imagination or perhaps in other words the possibilities are limitless.

What material did you use & will it be durable enough to handle the vibration?

I used ABS, same as the plastic parts on this bike and a lot of more modern bikes. I don't have many miles on it yet, but it's pretty beefy. Not hollow, like a lot of injection molded parts--it actually has a dense honeycomb internal structure.
