A buddy from my other forum, some of you may know his name, "Mrgrn" does a lot of CF molding.
I asked him about doing a CF version of the mychron lap timer mount, im going to send him my 50mm mount so he can use it as a mold.

He said he'll prolly sell em for about $40

Just a heads up if any of you are interested id update this thread when he gets done.

Here's his site, you guys can see some of his work. I have quite a bit on my bike also.

I'm definitely interested. I'd also be interested in anything he might be able to come up with for a receiver mount. I've got a 2nd generation SV650S. I believe the forks are 41mm.

Usually once the prototypes are done and are satisfacory, he puts them on his website.

I will update this thread as it goes.

aight the prototype, depending on how much fork you have sticking out might have to be flipped so the thin/main part is flush with the triple.

sounds confusing, look at the pics.

The final product would be finished on both sides.
The logo is a decal i placed on it, not printed on the actual CF.

There isnt much flex, so i dont expect the timer to be vibrating to death while mounted.

Track day isnt for a while, i dont know when we'll test it. i might give it a run on the streets to see how it looks at speed.

yeah he could, but the original i gave him was for the Mychon timers.
we're gonna try it with velcro initially, then when i get this Mychron timer, if it all works out, ill give it a shot with the screws and see how it holds up.

But what do you guys think tho?

I think it is fantastic. I made a mount for my XT out of some aluminum and mounted it where the reservior use to mount. I also made a mount out of an office nameplate to attach my receiver to the fairing stay. The carbon fiber of your unit is far superior to my set up, but you can't argue my costs!

It is a great looking item and Mark really does nice work!

On the timer holder though, I intentionally keep my lap timer out of sight and review the results back in the pits after the sesion - the same concept as taping over the speedo....

Hell, more often that not, I am working on a particular set of corners or other aspect of riding and don't even turn my timer on.

Looks really nice! I love the look of carbon fiber. My forks are currently nearly flush with the top of the clamp so I appreciate how thin the carbon version is. I’ll be interested to know how well it holds up to vibrations.

What would be cool is if there were a way to attach the display to the top side of the mount and the receiver on the back.
