Crazy eh! I thought motorbikes were expensive but compared to audio gear it’s chump change! Needless to say I didn’t pay anything significant for my amp (like my CB400F). They continue to make amazing gear until this day but $4k wouldn’t buy you much. Their MC2KW is $75k retail. And it’s a...

I’m always working on something. It’s just a shame for my thread that it’s not been the bike. http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/mcintosh-c20-can-and-should-i-bring-it-back-from-the-dead.833130/ I have a disease with rebuilding stuff. My CB400F is fortunately the only one that’s...

Ain’t that the truth PJ!!! And I’ve had some other projects on the burner too which makes it hard to put time and money into this bike seeing as it will still be years away from the road (probably). I need to get back in to the habit of a few hours a week though, even if it’s stuff I can do for...

Got in to the shed today and took to converting my cardboard template in to steel. Cut apart the template and measured it on the sheet of steel: Cut it out with my air shears (worked a charm after I oiled them). Cut it all out and set it in my brake to bend up the sides: Next up I trimmed...

Thanks and nice work yourself!

That’s a really good point. I’ll think about how I do that because I don’t want the lines of the seat ruined by a big foam block.

100mm PVC pipe :D

Been mucking around with other projects and lost time to work on the 400F. However today I got back in the shed and started something I’ve been avoiding for a long time... seat v2.0 First up a refresher of where the bike sits: Had to remove the wiring harness because it’s hardly needed at...

Was in Jaycar today. They sell it by the metre but unfortunately the colour options are turd. Probably only about 4!

No I meant wires. Probably didn't explain myself very well, but I need to extend the wires from the loom to the new location for the gauge connector blocks as I soldered them in and they're now too short. I'd like to keep the same wire colours as the original Acewell wiring but think that's...

I've had a couple of parts on my workbench for a little while now. Tapered countersink bolts for attaching parts to the battery box (and hopefully making enough space to put the battery in) and deutsch connectors so I can chop the Acewell gauge connectors and extend them to clear the coils...

I might buy non resistor plugs at some stage then. Why bother running the risk of it not working for $20

Thanks PJ as always. I trimmed the leads and bought a sparkplug socket to hand tighten the plugs and now it all looks fine, bit of length in there but they don't look silly. Plenty of future trimming length too. Good to know re the plugs and caps, 10k will be ok to have a go then by the sounds...

Latest bit of gear has landed in the shop, 30" metal brake. I'll be bending up my new seat designs with it and making sure I get some straight edges.

Few more parts in and had a crack at trimming the plug wires. First up we're new EBC rear brake pads, will be a while before they're fitted but they're there when I need them: Trimming the plugs was the next item on the agenda this evening. Thanks yorkie for the stock lengths, I added the...
