Clutch cable guide
Oddjob:
I seem to recall it was fitted to the end bolt on the breather cover, the reason I seem to think this is correct is that A. The cable wouldn't run over the cover and thus may be abraided by the cover as it would in Teds position, which looks to me like one of the rear bolts and B. The metal ring is shaped so it fits over the bolt hole, the shape of that makes sense for it to be at 90 degrees to the bolt, which I don't think it can do on a back bolt.

I’m gonna have a play tmrw again I forgot tonight. This is Matt’s bike. I have it in the end volt at the min but it Gould the tank and there’s only so many places it will go. ……..
I seem to recall it being located so that it threw the cable off at an angle like that from when it was taken apart. Just rings a distant bell. I’ll have a look….

Here is a picture of mine, as Oddjob states it is fitted to breather cover, however mine is fitted to the bolt at the back of the cover, it seems to run smoothly enough and without fouling the tank, and with the raised edges on the bracket where it bolts to the cover it can only go the one way up, although, I suppose if it was to be fitted onto the end bolt as Oddjobb says it could go either way as the raised edges would clear the cover at the bolt.
Just checked for clearance, it is a clear 3/4" from the breather box top and, although it doesn't look like from the angle of the pic, a good 1 3/4" to 2" clearance from the rocker cover.

Interesting picture rbt - does it clear the petrol tank okay?
