loom routing

As Pete says the loom actually comes out from under the bottom tree and then up to the light.
If you look on the front of the tree you'll find a hole on either side for a couple of bolts to attach a holding frame for both sides of the loom to next to the brakeline junction.

Yours might be missing.

hey jonesy,

not sure if it matters,
but my loom comes up from under the bottom tripple tree
into the headlight bucket.

Thanks Fred & all, got that, pretty much how I figured, without the crossover......

Mate,

for the '78 Standard.

Forward to the frame neck, no crossover, out under the neck between the frame and the oil cooler (there is a double loop clip attached to the frame there), forward under the steering head and up in front of the bottom triple tree through the bolt on keeper either side of the brake line junction and then the right side loom goes into the rear hole in the headlight and the left loom goes into the hole on the left side of the headlight.

Get all that

Print it out and take it to the bike and you can follow it along as you read it.

This leaves a nice little loop under the tree for movement to either full lock.

Let me know how you get on mate

yep for a 78' cross them under

Jonesy, I tried that route & it looked like they would pinch on full lock.
Melbxs, I have those diagrams, it's where they go forward of the steering head that it gets a bit hazy.
Can anyone else have a squiz at there's for me ?

Does this help?

Just had a look at mine
go through the clamps on frame, NO crossover, then go over the bottom triple clamp to the head light. Leaves a fair bit of slack between main frame and bottom triple clamp

The 2 parts of the loom that go to the headlight, ?? through the 2 clamps on the frame, cross over & go under the lower triple tree & up to the headlight, is that right, looks a bit untidy ??
