Hi Brains Trust
Newbie here.
Thought i would raise this from the grave, as there is now 3D printing capability, which would allow for disk adaptor prototyping.
Is there any interest?

Hi,
I've seen your other post as well.
I was lucky enough to buy the last of the Hammerheads from Mike Billet and so I've equipped my bikes.
Mike has very kindly provided his engineering drawings on the Facebook Group and possibly on here somewhere...?
I can highly recommend them, especially if you can make them out of the exceptionally high quality Stainless or Titanium that Mike supplied to me.
The only slight worry for some people is the ability to drill and tap one or two holes accurately into your swingarm.
They work faultlessly and are a very elegant engineering solution adding minimal weight and zero "clunkiness" to your bike.
On that matter, the version you have shown in your other thread is nicely made, but strikes me as very "clunky".......
I assume that it relies on sitting on the axle, but I can't work out wether that is inboard or outboard of the swingarm either way it needs extra width on the axle which I just can't see is available?
Then I guess it just rotates until it meets the swing arm material and that is what stops it rotating...? Hopefully thats on a relatively flat and broad contact point or else all the preesure of braking is on a limited area......
and the same for the front when I would be concernes that it would damage the crossllink leg.
Not meaning to be negative, just what I would think about if I was considering this.
Col.
