Brake/Gear pedals

Something to fill the idle hours - a work mate is a fellow motorcyclist and gadget guy. Between his 3D scanner, CAD skills and 3D printer (plastic only) it is amazing what can be mocked up.
I've always felt that the brake and gear pedals force your feet to be too splayed, so he scanned the original, created a CAD model from the scan, modified that to just clear the primary cover and hey presto.
This probably isn't going any further but was a bit of fun.

it could be interesting to make the cad file available for a reconstruction in case of breakage

Hello , It was obvious that SG Norton pedals were made the same to reduce cost . But , it would have been great to have different pedals on each side that fit better. I am not a fan of the toe bolt for the brake , I'd rather have a pedal and angled closer to the bike as well. Great work by the way !

As well as making them the same they didn't bother changing the shape from the pre linkage days, the clearance on the primary side at least make sense when the lever is mounted direct on the shaft from the gearbox.
It doesn't show in the photo but the two plastic levers are different - only about 15mm offset can be taken out of the gear lever, leaving about 5mm clearance to the primary case, but the brake side was made straight when viewed from above.
More than happy to share the files when we have finished fiddling.
I stumbled across an NZ based company which can 3D print titanium parts so out of interest sent them an enquiry, "only" $NZ1500 for the pair plus any costs for them to adjust the CAD file etc. Plus finishing, machining for threads and inserting the bush. Not exactly affordable but not as crazy as i thought it would be, and no i am not that crazy.

One of the things that isn’t necessarily obvious in this print - but one of the advantages in 3D printing is that - as you are adding material rather than removing it - there are some shapes possible that aren’t with CNC etc.

Flippin well done! I was talkin with Blightybrit about this. He's done a million miles (at least) on his 961 so I guess accustomed to it now but I find the gear and brake levers another area needing a little more R&D.
I agree the brake lever should've been straight - my boot almost always finds the curved edge.
I also find the gear shifter position too low but the size and shape of the lever on the gearbox spline prevents any adjustment.
So, I'm looking into alternative pegs / controls. This isn't gonna be easy or quick but I hope to create an option that looks good, works well and is affordably repeatable.
Is anyone else working on this?

I had always thought that the Norton ones were pretty close to a copy of a Tarozzi rear set?
