Two posts back, did you resolve the cable routing near the sprocket? They should all go along that top edge up away from the sprocket, there's a small capture ledge inside the sprocket cover which would ordinarily keep them out of the way. The cables all come out of a gap at the top right hand corner in that photo. You'll see if you look at the cover casting.

Haven’t put the sprocket cover back on yet, just confused why the bendy cable tidy attached to one of the crank case bolts seems to be in the wrong place, but I have a picture of it’s location from when I stripped the bike down so it’s definitely gone back where it was

Just because it was in that location when you stripped it, does not mean it's the correct place. 40+ years of previous owners, any one of them could have fitted it incorrectly!

Yeah fair one, you able to confirm if that tab is on the right bolt (picture a few pics up)?
Trigger:
The loom tab goes on the bolt to the left, tab facing up and the loom and the starter lead run along the top of the cases and exit via the sprocket cover ;)

I've a picture in Honda's own workshop manual that shows that bolt which you have a clip on as clear of any fittings.
It also shows all the cables routed up along that top ledge just under the engine number.
I'm familiar with putting that cover on as you can juuuuuuust wiggle it in there without having to move anything out of the way. You slide it in there with the cables located inside the cover and it finally drops into place at bottom left corner when it seems like the frame seem is going to prevent it.
What I can't remember is if it has that cable tidy fixed to the top crankcase bolt is there, it's not clear in the photo, but have vague memories of it on that bolt and bent upwards to wrap round the cables above the bolt head.
