R100rs throttle cable routing

Post by Krauser4valve »

This bike (built 10/76) has been messed with so many times over the years that I can't tell if the throttle cables are routed correctly. Anyone out there have have a photo or some advice?

Barring any pictures, route them so that when you turn the handlebars, the RPM doesn't change. Also, the cables should come straight into the adjuster ferrule on top of the carb, not pulled or strained at this point. If you have non-stock bars or bar-backs, then routing becomes more of an issue.
