steph77 Posted August 23, 2018 Author Posted August 23, 2018 As mentionned in my first post, it is this shifter, yes. I just take the principle because this design is not enough sturdy and reliable for a real use in a moc. I do modify it a little therefore, but Lego Technic Mastery is well the owner of the idea.

I read about the original concept coming from Lego Technic Mastery, but having a concept is one thing, making it reliable and incorporating it in a model in a way that makes sense is also a big challenge. And in this case the incorporation has been executed excellently. So to be more precise: I love the shifter concept and the way it comes to life in this build. Quote

Hi, Sorry i do not. The incoming of the 42107 italian beauty makes me change my plans. I worked on a bavarian response to it: - Shifter pro up and down - 4 speeds gearbox - front fork suspensions - Rear multi-link suspensions Actually not 100% happy with the front build rigidity and also with the very front end. This still doesn't looks like a S1000RR,Work still in progress! Edited July 22, 2020 by steph77 Quote
TeamThrifty Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Very difficult to build a bike in technic at this scale.. really well done for getting this far! The chain and back brake are on the wrong sides, but its very hard at this scale.. Quote
steph77 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Thanks! And it's finally done :) As you can see the front end is done, it's been quiet tricky to get this results but I am happy with the smooth curve of the front and integration of the two headlights. I recolored some parts as well, and get this 50 shades of blue colorsheme that fits well with the race spirit of this motorbike. I also build a stand that really hold the bike correctly and firmly. Looking at the front end the complex shaping of it allows a cool render of the noze's curve, integrate some dynamics lines in the design. I do not use the windshield of the Ducati that I find odd and I prefer using a simple flex tube to suggest the windshield's limit. You can also see that the lower part of the bike has also get attention with complete panelling and details The back view shows a racing spirit The borders of the fuel tank have also been carefully designed with the major holes finished with 1X5 panels. I must say that finding all these tricky angles was fun to do and research... The shifter with the 1/2 2L liftarm that shows wich speed is engaged and also acts as a limitator so getting from 4th speed to first is not possible. And a blurry (sorry) view of the rear suspension system. Multilink, it gives the opportunity to change setup by moving the attachment point of the 5L 1/2 liftarm on the oscillating arm. By modding this the suspensions is (as represented here) low and quiet soft or higher and sensibly harder (race mode) @ you... Edited July 24, 2020 by steph77 add explanations... Quote
steph77 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Hi guys! EDIT: Sorry I lost the connection during the editing of this post Some improvement about this bike: - Add front disk break calipers - Add a proper saddle - Simplify the rear end and add détails on the oscillating arm at the rear - Change the color scheme - add a windshield So here it is: Edited August 7, 2020 by steph77 Quote
Gray Gear Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Looks great, I like the colorsceme. A better looking bike than the ducati imo. Quote
