    The Thunder Toad Cometh

    Wow, thanks for all the input! I like a lot of these ideas, I definitely don't want the cover to blend into the frame, but I'm also not trying to make it the focal point. I've got primer on the cover now, soon I'll start playing with color. I'd love to lose or reduce the gauges, but that's...

    The Thunder Toad Cometh

    Since I don't feel like working and it's too rainy to go out and play, I did some photochopping. Here's the most recent mockup of the wonderwoman belt: Here it is in gold(ish): I couldn't get the color quite right, prob look better IRL In green: And my personal fav, two-tone: I'll...

    The Thunder Toad Cometh

    Gold is a good idea. When I started this project I wanted to do a bike with some color instead of just another blacked out bike with lower bars. But obviously I've started to appreciate the blacked out bits. Maybe the battery cover is the perfect place to splash a little more gold. I've...

    The Thunder Toad Cometh

    Alright, I got motivated a little earlier than I thought I would. Popped the glass off the mold with no problem. This stuff is super flexy. I think that's good, but wow it's really bendable. Anyhow, popped it off and transferred the shape from my cardboard template. Some cutting and...

    The Thunder Toad Cometh

    A few quick updates. Postman finally came. That switch is going to work great, but I broke it testing so I need to resolder or get another one. You can see my status update on that here: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=16438.msg170213#msg170213 Got the top triple, headlight...

    Handlebar Microswitches

    I decided to do some experimenting so I'll post a quick update here. I bought a momentary switch like this: It was about $10 on ebay, but I've seen it at lots of places on the web. Using an old set of bars to test, drilled 1/4 hole, tapped to 5/16-24, removed nut from button, fed wires into...

    Embarrassing Question - Leads to Regulator/Rectifier

    I know you guys are talking about the CB350 now, but here's the relevant part of my wiring diagram. The three yellows in the middle. I just made my splices like PJ suggests, looks like it'll work just fine. Thanks for the help. Ok, here's the whole schematic for 1981 CM400T just in case...

    "Value lies in the gulf between desire and possession" Know anybody who desires a stock 350 enough to fill that gulf with 8.5k? Me either.

    Embarrassing Question - Leads to Regulator/Rectifier

    Thanks for the hint. I've got the diagram for this bike and I'm looking at the other side of the alternator. On my diagram it's three yellows all going to regulator/rectifier. I'm just curious if they do different things once they get there, inside the blackbox on the diagram. As soon as I...

    Embarrassing Question - Leads to Regulator/Rectifier

    Um, this is pretty stupid of me, but... I was splicing wires to extend the leads on my regulator rectifier (from alternator) since I'm moving my electronics around. There are three leads, all yellow. So as to not lose track of which wire was which (and to make it easier to shrinktube them), I...

    Ah I see. I thought the actual peg was some super secret $50 mod reserved for the Toronto kids. Thanks Dan

    Looking good man! I missed Noel's post about the pegs. What'd you use? Can't wait to see the surprise color. I'm guessing periwinkle. Dan
