Hard day today, lots of little jobs none of which are photogenic, e.g. shortening bolts x 10 so the nyloc is fully engaged but no more, making earth leads, rubbing down all the parts that will be painted mat black ready for a final top coat, making up the petrol pipes and the real PITA re-fitting the throttle cables which I eventually abandoned unfinished.
I did not realise until I checked them for broken or frayed strands that the two throttle cables were different lengths and when I took them off about 3 years ago I did not mark them as to which went where. It is obvious that the cable ends going into the twist grip are different because they have different diameter threaded adjusters but not at all obvious at the carburetor end.
Getting the cables routed into the twist grip itself was very frustrating and I finally gave up for the day when confronted with trying to fit the other end of the cables to the quadrant on the carburetors. I had run out of love for Ducatis at that point.
