Are they “bending radius restrictor” springs?

Yes I figure so Steve. But none of the modern replacements including the late Honda ones have a spring on the 'A'  pull cable. So back to my question did the originals have the spring on the pull cable .. I seem to recall they did and the parts book illustration certainly shows one.

When all else fails Ash, read the manual !   :D

My '77 model has the spring on the cable.  Had the bike since new and it's the original cable.

Interesting concept - as the outer cable is pretty strong they would need to be pretty stiff springs to restrict the curve.
