Billet shift forks?

(1/2) > >>

k9Mike:
I've seen there's been some work in the recent past to recreate the no longer obtainable shift forks.  I was wondering if anyone knows of progress (or if they are available). So far I've only found a facebook reference to Nova Racing in the UK announcing they have billet shift forks for the KX500 (for ~$222). But there's no reference on their web site.

Thx!

sandblaster:
They only have one shift fork available.

Joe Martin here in the states is working on them.
No ETA

k9Mike:
Seems like machines are going to start being sidelined for lack of these kind of critical parts.

In my clearly non-expert and uninformed opinion, it appears to simply require a Solidworks guru, a chunk of steel, and a relatively expensive CNC machine.  :-D

motorman455:
Don't they need to be hardened? Seems like billet would be relatively soft and wear quickly.

k9Mike:
Again, I'm def no expert, but I think hardened steel can be milled/machined.
