Featured Laser Cut Vintage Motorcycles

About a year ago I posted a number of pictures of CNC plasma cut vintage British motorcycles. They were 19" long and cut from 1/8" mild steel.

Out of curiosity, I sent my designs off to a laser cutting service to see how small they could be made using that process rather than plasma arc. I thought some of the forum members might be interested in seeing the results. Shown are nine out of the 20 or so I had laser cut out of stainless steel.

The first photo shows an original 19" long plasma cut Vincent Black Shadow along with its laser cut counterpart. The other photos show a standard deck of playing cards for size comparison.

Note that I only had one each of these made, as I have no interest in trying to sell them.

 

It varied slightly for each different model. Pricing was quantity based for each piece. As I mostly had only one of each model made they averaged about $28 each. I had two done of a couple of bikes, and the price dropped 20%.

 

I drew them all from scratch by tracing over photographs of actual bikes.

 

I appreciate the kind words, however, at age 83 my business days are over. I just enjoy making them and showing them off.
