Title: More Wire/Cable Routing Issues
Post by: fermin on April 28, 2010, 08:47:39 PM

Just like a previous post after taking pics (with a cell phone) while dismantling the intrument panel to remove handlebars and all controls and replace cables it doesnt seem to fit all together.  
When the steering is turned the accelerator, choke and speedometer cables seem to move a lot although there are no changes in rpms.
The new (braided steel) front brake hose doesnt seem to follow the same path as the old one and tries to pop out of the bracket between the handlebar bolts. Is there a restoration project somewhere that will have photos of this section to aid with installation?.
Its a 1982 with single front rotor.

Mine is a '79, and has different plumbing that yours.  Also, all my pictures are of stock hoses and brackets.  (Once again, a '79, which is different than a '82).

You might have to get creative due to the aftermarket hose.

You may find something useful, this is for a dual ATE setup.

Thanks Mike & Rob, the restoration album is excellent and I can check cable routing vs what I have.
