My first project - 1974 CB360 K0
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
If you can re-use the end connections might be better to use new cable of the correct thickness.
I have noticed that battery cables seem to loose their suppleness with age not sure if that's just down to the insulation becoming hard or general oxidation of the wire itself. Could be a combination of both.
Johnny4428:
Anybody on here actually replaced the cable! I have a starter motor that I have tested and works great but a PO has just cut the lead off and left about 3 to 4â€. Maybe it was damaged.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The starter on my 500 has a join in the cable quite close to the starter itself by a PO.
It's a nice shade of yellow, I've just improved the insulation on the joint as I didn't want to tamper with the starter motor connection.

That’s brilliant, thank you for that.
Craizeehair:
I felt like I had lost my way a little with this, I was doing too many different things at once, so I have put the engine back m one piece and popped it in the corner for now and will revisit that near the end, that feels like the best way round to do things.
I’m just freshening up a few of the painted bits, not a back to metal and respray or powder coat job, just enough to smarten things up for now. I shouldn’t be too far away from refurbishing some bits and can start slowly putting things back on the frame.
It’s certainly doing its job of giving me loads of hands on experience as a first attempt and I’m loving it.
