RE: The Lost Art of Mechanical Drafting - Gone in 60 - 08-21-2021
I took drafting classes in high school, and my step dad was a draftsman. Writing in clear block lettering was hammered into me.
Sometimes even today when I’m writing something, sometimes someone will ask if I was ever a draftsman.
Doubt I could draw something as nice as your CB. Keep us posted on the tshirts!

OK, here is my circle: O
Part of a Padawan’s journey is to discover the mystery and power of the RLET.
But a Padawan you remain until you master installation of the RLETs on the CB.
The Ring will be watching you. Do or Do not. There is no try.

I think you are on to something Bob.
Maybe "simplify" a bit and give the draft that "crackled" look like an old, waxy blueprint sort of appeal?
RE: The Lost Art of Mechanical Drafting - j3gq_imp - 08-21-2021
This is totally cool, Phadreus, and I suppose this is how your bike looks today.
How likely is it - and how much work - if you also did one for the standard CB and / or the EX ?

At what point do you draw on the RLETS?
You know I spent a half an hour the other night searching this forum to figure out what RLET stood for. That should be some right of passage on this forum, if you are serious about being here, figure out what this means.

Olde school - just like the CB1100. Perfect blend of spirit. (woo, ya)

Let me play around with a more "stock" Drawing for a Standard and/or EX and see what I can come up with...

So do we know who actually came up with the term RLET? Was it on this Forum?
With some simple Filtering, we could even make it look more like an old Blue Print.

I finally found out what RLET stands for as well almost a year of being on this forum. Some serious technical stuff to those four letters. Beyond my comprehension for sure.
These drawings are amazing. Hats off to you.
