75 CB400 "Dad's old bike" project
Pops400:
No real progress to show, but in the interests of keeping the thread and my motivation alive, I'll amuse you with a couple of photos of general butchery that we found whilst disassembling again. Whoever gave it such a beautiful makeover was clearly an auto electric guru too... [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
And the clocks as they were butchered in. No idea why the originals were replaced in the first place, but these look like 350lc clocks to me. I've agreed a swap for some originals with someone who wants these, with a bit of folding changing hands too, so happy enough. At least they came of clean, unlike anything else! ::) [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
Pops400:
And just to assure the interested parties that my little helper is still on the case, here she is so worked out that after around 2 1/2 minutes she called a Wotsits break! ;D [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Agree on the Wotsits, though I'm more a flask of tea and malt loaf man when I'm stood in the freezing cold fixing bikes.
I finally spotted a 400/4 cafe racer for some reference when I went to the Kickback show. Tried to snap a photo of it, only to find the girl has learned how to photobomb... ::) ;D [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Ace photobombing!
On the topic of wiring I had to make up some leads with suitable connectors for indicators (extend leads for rack mounting) and headlamp (I have a Cibie unit fitted).
If you look on eBay you can buy Japanese 3.9mm Bullet Connectors which worked perfectly for me.
I don't have a crimp tool for non-insulated connectors so soldered the wires then used a regular crimp tool to bend the edges of the connectors to the required shape.
They fit to the standard loom, you can also get double connectors if you need them.
