So the wiring from inside the handlebars from both L and R goes round to the rhs then up and over the spine, round that 90 degree bracket thing and into a bell-shaped plastic cover from the rear. The whole shebang is retained by the short "battery strap".

The bundle from the headlamp bowl passes the head stock on the lhs. In the pictures one of my switch gear set is not in the bracket and the strap is not currently fitted.

Your switch gear wiring is routed incorrectly Lobo...

Lobo:
Thanks Tom, if you could leave your 'bike permanently in pieces as an ongoing reference for me ..(!)
And if ever an understatement my wiring incorrect... It amazes me just what folk will bodge / put up with - its all in a pretty awful state. Would have never guessed it was the handlebar switchgear routed up & over the spine.

Another question (Tom?) as Parts diagram not conclusive - is my clutch cable (my pic #2 above) routing (anchor grommet) in the right place?

All very much appreciated,
Lobo

Mine is under the next bolt in a clockwise direction (where your throttle cables are sitting). My engine has not been apart so unless there was any "natural variation" that is where it should be. Having it there would keep it in more of a straight line and against the frame from its run behind that retaining hook, but again I'll have a look tonight. Its also the other way up, with the "flat" side of the bracket to the bottom.

In case you are wondering, this is not from memory - I have a picture on my laptop that shows it but I'll do a close-up for you.

Here you go - continuing the photo catalog of my bike (!)

Guess the first pic showing the routing between the speedo and idiot lights is a bit superfluous... just around the head stock to the rhs and behind that hook under the horn bolts. Through the grommet which when positioned properly holds the cable off the engine.

Lobo:
...as always Tom, beyond the call of duty.... All a great help.

Many thanks.
