Beautiful work on Cyborg's electrics (cheer up Doug! Didja eat a lemon?).
He is just not happy his LUNCH is delayed due to the photo. :lol:
I am however wondering if he ever smiles. Seems like every photo with Old Fogey has him frowning.

Looks like a group of English soccer fans. Doug should go into flower arrangement.
Enjoy life,

I've printed that photo of Doug's wiring and posted it in the tech area at my company. The caption reads: "Aspire to wire this neat and complete"

Great showing of what can be done with limited space.

One word of warning, though.. I've found that terminal strips like that will loosen with vibration on bare wire. It's SOP now to put Wago ends on wires going into screw-down terminal strips. (May not be an issue with low-gauge wiring; we deal with #20 and above in our cabinets.)

The other problem I've had with that type of strip is vibration breaking the wire after the screw which makes a weak point. This is probably not a problem with something like a bike.
