yzf throttle cable routing

Post by haro504 »

im tring to put my carbs on and i wanna get the throttle cables on first and i was wondering how others that did the yzf engine swap ran there cables i was thinking across in front of the forks then under the main frame between the forks and engine rails over the top of the engine. it seems like because of the length going threw the frame left tomuch slack in front.

That is how I did mine. The cables are going to be long and in the way no matter how you route them.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....
