    Hi guys. Does anyone have any good pictures that show proper routing of cable and electrical lines around the neck and through the headlight area? Mainly everything that attaches to the bars. These were'nt proper in the first place, so I didnt bother to take pics before I ripped everything apart.

    I've tried the search function and nada. Maybe I'm not using the correct terminology. I have the Haynes diagram, but its ambiguous junk.

    Any links and pics would be much appreciated. Or if you think you can explain each line I'd be happy to try to interperate that information.

    It is possible that if the bars or cables are not stock, they might not be able to follow the designated routes.

    Absolutely Wiz. this bike is all stock in my case. If your dealing with aftermarket stuff the game will change. However, even with aftermarket lines/bars knowing where things are supposed to go is an excellent starting point for rerouting.
    Being this bike is all original. If we do decide to change things up latter on then knowing where things went is invaluable in deciding why they are there and from that is a great base point for determining whether one needs new lines. good point though.
    Thanks for the response as it will surely help someone consider the possibility in the future.
