No not jeans. This is a head scratcher for me as my DK Special from the USA has been thrown down the road numerous times and suffered less than perfect rebuilds after its many accidents.
One example of this I the way the loom passes beneath the tank. Currently it is squeezed though the triangular gusset just behind the coils. This interferes with the operation of the push-pull throttle cables to the extent that the throttle will not shut on it own as the cables are kinked. There is just not enough room in there.
One of my lockdown projects was to change the handlebar from the horrible USA aftermarket ‘cowhorn’ bars into a more European and flatter spec; I’ll do another post on that as that is proving to be a right giggle as well. This necessitates the disconnection of all the wires in the headlamp shell and I thought I’d re-route the loom at the same time as everything was undone.
The question I have, is, should the loom that runs from the battery area to the headlamp, be routed:
- Strapped to the thick top tube that supports the top of the headstock
Or
- Strapped to the thinner lower left hand tube that runs under the tank
