extruded boss / base, Revolve boss / base, dome, linear pattern, chamfer and fillet.
It made on the front plane of the form of this support plate Asher in the picture of along with few circles of required dimensions on either side of the profile which are later used to produce the extruded cylinder structures for the footrest an attachment to the chases. provide the requirement fillets and linear pattern produce in structure. appearance is providing to the pedal with Chrome steel
- Front Fender:
It the covering plate of the front wheel.
Features:
revolve base/ boss, split and shell.
Sketch of created in the front plane using 3-point arc and offset it meet the thickness of the fender. Create an axis at the origin. Using revolve boss the required front Finder is created. two different sketches are created in the top plane and right plane to cut the open front Fender in to required shape. fillets are created on a sharp edge of the fender. Desired appearance is applied to the sender
Front wheel:
It is rolling part on the front of the motorcycle. This will help to get the vehicle according to the moment of the front fork as decided by the rider
features:
Revolve base/ boss, extruder boss/ base, extruded cut, revolve cut, circular pattern, mirror, combine, chamfer and fillet.
