Bit of the old CAD, what

 

[TURNIP]

Time for TAD and SAD. More acronyms = more damage

 

[TURNIP]

putting some bits on to begin crying over pain the ass wire harness

Wire harness: laughs in 11 fucking cut wires

Played woodworker for a bit, used flushcut bit in the router to copy out three sets of hardboard blanks for mocking up tail so I will have spares when I fuck everything up later

Hey yo bitch... What flavor yo butt is?

Carbs looking manky now 😒

Having to use a different brand of blue tape for the first time in years... Not happy!

Still, shaping up nicely by my lights

 

[TURNIP]

Took some time away to fiddlefuck around with the CB400 tank I'm fixing for my dad's associate, should be back on this soon.

 

[TURNIP]

Doing a bit of cleanup

For an unintended side project you sure pulled out all the stops on this one 👍

You know how it is... They kinda tend to pull themselves.

We'll just not discuss the color-coordinated brake lines, kevlar plug wire sleeves and contrasting marine heat shrink that may or may not be coming 😇

Speaking of which, I got my new plug caps after I broke one, but I accidentally ordered non-resistor caps... So I got resistor plugs just in case the coils need them to trigger or whatever, sorted there.

I noted that the previous builder had somewhat shoddily filled in the NGK lettering with white paint so I did a somewhat neater job w/gold on the new ones, because goooooooold

Now it looks premium yo

I was babbling earlier with some of the fellas and reminded myself I had room under the tank for any electrics I don't want to shove up ' er bum, so to speak

So noted

Now I'm literally watching paint dry so maybe time to actually D a little W on the main item

 

[ROBBO]

Nice trick on the caps matey.

And beheld a pale rectangle

Scritch scratch with the implements

And then STAB! STAB! STAB!

This bit was molested in two separate locations. Well traveled, it is

More ritualistic scribing

More stabbing is needed here

Oooo lookit, purpose

Lovely. Note to self: Replace sheet metal screws holding part in place with real bolts, you know, sometime
