Or buy the correct billet lugs for your bike. Might have to get Akit forks on them though...
The Shop
We're about to start making some billet lugs for WP, but unfortunately don't have anything for KYB yet.
For the reverse engineering portion, I use NX12, but most of the heavy lifting is done is the GOM software. I usually build all the simple geometries (planes, cylinders, etc) in GOM then import them into NX as iges files, then do the more detailed stuff in NX, usually with rapidsurfacing or simple 4 point surfaces.
From experience, these would take about 2 hrs to scan, then about 8 or so to model (depending on how accurate you want them to be to the originals). I actually did something similar for my college senior project where I scanned some components of our Baja SAE car and made models that we could use for stress analysis and stuff.
If youre interested, I wouldn't mind helping out for probably cheaper than youll find commercially, but I also wont be able to do is as fast. As far as getting them milled, im not sure if i could get that through our shop unnoticed (not a mom and pop shop), but I could scan them and give you usable NX models (or whatever universal format, .X_T, .IGES, etc...)
