Teds new project a CB500 K1 mostly version 0.5 circa 1972.
Oddjob:
See if this works
Oddjob:
These might be better
So over the fork top on the top yoke, through the gap in the speedo/tacho bracket, round to the left of the headstock, under/over the tank mount rubber (which is odd as one image shows it above and one below, see which looks right, I suspect below as it would bend the cables less) through the gap in the frame where the coils sit and onto the carb bracket.
Oddjob:
Just had a thought Ted, make sure the throttle thumb screw ramp in the R/H switchgear isn't wound up too high and is touching the throttle tube. That would make the throttle grab a little.

Thanks for the pics Ken, I saw something similar on the PDI pics for the 500. (USA bars I suspect as the throttle cables are above the clocks and feed down through that slot/hole in the bracket)
I tried to route my throttle cables through the hole in the speedo bracket as per the photo. The cables would somehow have to get past the rev counter with not much of a gap, swooping up from the throttle grip below the bars through a tight gap near the master cylinder pipe then tight down thought the instrument bracket. They were routed better above the master cylinder but ended up part over the rev counter.
Hence why am now as per these photos.

One problem at a time Ken I have not fitted the ramp yet but the hole in my switch gear is threaded so will look at that eventually.
I have very loosly tried my clutch cable route - from the bar lever, drops down the slot/apperture in the instrument bracket out on the RHS then through the coil frame hole to the left side down through the gap between carbs 1 & 2 to the forwards facing hole in the left side housing.
The route looks good except there seems to be excess loops of cable near the tank area - I did wonder if there is a shorter cable for the UK 500 & mine is an aftermarket one. The cable is in good condition - even the rubber bellows at the engine end looks like new.
