CNC triple tree set.

How hard is it to mill out your own triple tree set? Does anyone out there have or know of a place to get CAD data for a kz650 triple tree or know dimensions for one.

I want to create a 8 degree tree and hope for some advice or some help to make this process as painless as possible.

I think Leon (531blackbanshee) can help you out if not possibly get your compass set. I had a CNC years ago but it was too big for the shop I was in so it was either the in ground dyno or the 12x12 cnc? Rather have a mandrel bender now a days though. Good luck with your project.

Contact Scott Stites at Pulse Performance Parts in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is a biker and does fantastic one off work. He is building triples for the ZRX guys.

like cory said www.pulseperformanceparts.com/ does very nice work.
i haven't seen anyone that would have all the data co-ordinates for kz650's .
i do all manual machining and it takes alot of handwheel spinning to whack out a set of triples.
if you are really good with the band saw you can save some milling time :lol: .

To date I've treated 650's just like 1000's but why 8 deg raked trees? Find you a rake and trail calculator and punch in some numbers,

Les you've read my mind...... I would caution an 8 degree change to the rake of the triples without first fully understanding the bike geometry as a whole (rise height, fork length, offset, etc...) as you could be potentially making an unstable (unsafe) bike. Maybe you have thought all this through, and if so "Bravo!" Just thought I would mention it.
