Picture of Clutch/Brake Lines

[PMaxx]

Can someone please post a couple pictures of the proper factory way to route the clutch master and brake master lines? Like a view from the handle bars and a view from the headlight? My bike came with a drag bar and someone clearly messed with the routing of the lines when they installed it. Looks like they're getting cranked a bit.
Thanks!

I'll takes some pictures and post them up this afternoon if no one else does before I can.

Doesn't the online factory manual reference the routing? or a bit of common sense, to ensure at full-lock there is no pinching or binding? In the past I've removed the headlight to give me room to leave the master connected, and to snake the intact assembly through for the front brakes, no disassembly or bleeding required.

Yes, it does along with all cabling.

And another 'ting bout routing......the throttle cables can be fished behind both the upper fork tubes (I believe the stock routing has the cables in front of the r.h.s. tube?)
I think this arrangement gives the bike a cleaner look, especially if viewed front-on.
Cheers!

I recall the early 1970's dirtbikes often had a throttle cable sticking straight-up, then making a 12" dia loop down to the frame & carb. For some reason I liked that look, though there were logistical/operational issues to consider. I dunno why, because in the woods you could snag that loop. Maybe on motocross bikes it didn't matter as much unless your chief competitor had a short length of broomstick w/a hook on the end of it, to snag the loop, and to pull your cable wide-open. :confused2: Or he could stick it into your front wheel...:damn angry:

Maybe these are close enough to help you figurer out OEM routing? I've never changed anything with the routing since I bought this 85 new.

Thanks, I would appreciate some close up ones. I don't have the factory manual. Is there a copy available for download? I haven't been able to find one.

That is awesome! Exactly what I was hoping for.
