Im in need of a machinist. It seems that all the machinist around my area have passed away or are in retirement homes now. I had designed the hub for my single sided swingarm and now I have nobody to machine it for me. Are there any of you guys that can do that work for me. At a reasonable price.lol

At one time there was a machine shop advertising on eBay. You use their cad software to design the part online, then you sent them money and they shipped you the machined part.
I don't know if they are still around though.

A brief Google search found the following:

as mfolks mentioned i do a lot of machine work.although i use all manual machines and don't have an efficient means of cutting the splines that i see on the triumph stuff.

as steel mentioned there are places that can provide the drawing software and build your part online.kzrider member dutchz used such a service to custom machine the centers for his front disk brake rotors.you might shoot him a pm and see who he used.

i will sure help if i can ,feel free to pm if you think i can help you.
