1952 fl assy-d By Terry Stonehocker on 09 Jun 04:17

This looks awesome! love your models mate :)

Thanks Robert, for your nice comments. I am glad to see that there are people out there that appreciate the old stuff.
The 1952 Harley I am drawing came out the year I was born. That is why I am drawing it.

Looks like it's becoming along nicely. How many hours you recon you'll spend modeling the whole bike? Looks like a major project.

Thanks Siim, it's getting there slowly but surely. I have about 250 hours in it already and probably another 100 hours to go for phase 2. Then comes phase 3!!!

Siim, I have tried several time today to upload a new file of the progress on the phase-2 project. can't get it to upload....Whats-up?

Looking good sir.

thanks Adam, been looking at your stuff i like it a lot. by the way where did you get that face?

Terry, not sure about the upload thing, looks like you got it to work in the end? Could have been a network problem or a glitch with our hosting provider.

Thanks! Shopped a skull and cyborg eye in with my face

Got a question, I changed the primary cover for the primary on this bike and copied the existing cover to make the new cover. I then inserted the new cover into the assembly with the old cover still in the assy. I hadn't made any changes to the new cover at this time so I opened the new cover from the assy and made all the new changes. When I went back to the assy you couldn't see any of the covers. I was able to get the old cover to turn on but could not get the new cover to show up no matter what I did. I even tried inserting the new cover into a new assy by itself and still can't see it.
WHAT HAPPENED? I am using Solidworks 2010

Hmm that's a new one - rebuild, restart or reboot..

My thoughts too, so I did I rebooted, opened the assy again and still can't see the part. I tried coping the part to a different name still can't see it. So because the part is a pain in the ___ to draw I steped it out of the part file and created a new drawing without history. That drawing file works just fine.
DON"T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.

Yeah that is wierd

Well never figured out what happened so I made a new drawing. There are 2 renderings that show the new primary cover.
And I finally got PhotView to except my black leather seat.

Terry, is it just me or is the framework on these bikes undersized. I know a conceptual drawing doesn't always reflect the engineered specs., just curious.

Hi Robert, what makes you think the frame is undersized?

Looks good to me! Maybe the size of the seat makes the frame look small?

BTW Terry, I bought a Vmax :). Vroom Vroom.

By comparison to some photos I finally looked at of '52 panheads its exact. Man, I thought my bicycle stem was undersized for my arse. I'm not a mechanical engineer; thank god for the tensile strength of steel.

This looks fantastic! I have a quick question, are you modeling off of blueprints or just images? It looks great and the level of detail is awesome.

Thanks guys, cool Chanson be careful that bike is bad a** I built 2 of them into trikes...what a machine.
Robert, did you see the other file I uploaded that has 2 pics from the Harley archives of a 52 FL... I got them when I was just about finished with my model... wish I would have found them earlier it would have made things much easier.

Hey Scott, thanks guy.. to answer your question I had an assembly blueprint of the drive train and a detail print of the frame to go by. The rest of the parts are all drawn from images.

Hey I like the project you started and want to do a section... got a few projects to rap up first then I will jump in with both feet.

Chanson, nice bike :)

The snow has finally melted away and I’m ready to roll out my very Italian red Vespa but boarding the plane on Sunday to fly over to Boston for the next two months so Vespa and espressos have to wait.

Too bad, I know the feeling. I don't have the time to ride or do CAD :(. And the coffee at work sucks.

Terry, I saw your trikes so I knew you could relate. It IS a beast, never had this much torque on tap before. Here it is:

Oh yah, it is bad, even as a trike it scares the mess out of me.
like the pic of it, I know you will enjoy... just be careful.

Shes a beauty If I lived somewhere where I could ride all year long I would trade my truck for a bike!

Thanks Adam, did you see the other file with it in black and white? I think it looks just as good black and white.

Hi Terry, I'm really impressed about your work!

Is it possible to publish the whole frame as step-file into the library? I'm working on my pan right now and would need a such file for some design studies.

Thanks!

Hi Cosi, I have uploaded the frame as the Solidworks 2010 file and as a STEP file at this link. I think it should be what you are looking for.

wow

Thanks Matteo

Hey Terry,

Any chance of getting .x_t file for this?

thank you saket

As a fellow biker I can only say helmets off to you, great job.

Thanks Stef, that is a nice comment it means a lot to me.

Absolutely incredible models, I wish I had the time to spend on models like this. I'm jealous.

fantastic ........ step file pls ..... pls

Wow I just saw this. Amazing stuff, very inspiring. As a life long motorcyclist I can't recall seeing a model as skillfully put together as this. Awesome work!

Thanks Jim, Doug and zerothree for the great comments. You are right Jim, it takes a lot of time to make models like this. Most of the time is finding pictures good enough to use to draw from. This model is drawn from pics not a real bike and it is for the most part full scale.

Doug, I can't put the file up it is over 300meg. I have been putting parts of the bike up you can find them in my models, I think they all have Step files uploaded also. If you find one that doesn't let me know.

plz upload stp, step, igs file ????
edrawing file only read, can not export

Can't the file is to big.

You can divide all the SW files into several parts
for ex: Camaro RV (part1-3)
or you can upload on a web hosting service as rapidshare.com, megaupload.com, mediafire.com, hotfile.com, fileserve.com, filesonic.com ...
I really like this motorbike. It's so beautiful @.@
Hope you upload the file..
If you don't want to share the file for public, you can sent private download link for me
my email: ndmmdn@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance!

Terry I don't know why I continue to get your messages posted in my e-mail, maybe the boys will see this and fix it.

Robert it is because you commented on this awhile back so you get notified each time it is commented on

Thanks Adam, I wasn't sure what Robert was talking about...I hope that answers the question.

Amazing modeling

Thanks Sameer, sorry I haven't got back to you sooner been real busy latey.

This is an amazing model, really nice!

Thanks Benjamin, that really means a lot coming from someone like yourself...what with that Cadillac of yours WOW!!!

It's beatiful model and great work!!! Can you give me model or drawings of rear brake and clutch booster? I need it for my project. Please!!!

Hi Maxim, thanks for the praise...your work looks great too keep it up and shear it with us here at GrabCAD.

I,m working on 3d model of old school chopper, with panhead engine designed by you. Therefore I need drawings of rear brake and clutch booster. Can you send these drawings to my e-mail?

OK Maxim, I have uploaded the Brake assy and the Mouse Trap assy (clutch boost) enjoy have fun and be sure to show us sneak previews of your project as you go along.

Thank you. I will try to
do it.

This bike rocks !

Thanks Paul, always like comments like that !

Amazing model, how long did this take you?

Thanks Brent, a long time over three months.

COOL DUDE!!!

Terry, I *have* a 52 FL! You made my day!
Any chance I could get the actual SWX file(s) for my vintage Harley collection?

Terry I have a problem to execute the file is possible to get the iges, I assemble the engine and the frame I miss the body

Hi Terry, a long time since we heard from eachother. Terry, wold it be possible to publish both foot board assy as step.file? Woul really apreciate if I could implement these in my project as well ( see pan head design study @ grabcad). Thanks!

Thanks ^^

Terry I can host the native files on my ftp site if you care to share. We can then share the link with anyone who wants a copy. Let me know! Randy
