Hi All,
I am putting my bike back together ('75 350) and utilizing the cable and wire routing diagram from the manual, wondering of anyone has some detailed pics.  The older I get (and with eyeglass cheaters and blowing up the screen) still difficult to read.  I believe the pics in the manual documentation are R5 related and from research here and on the Aircooled RD forum, seems to be a difference between this and the later RD's.  The pics I took during disassembly are not detailed enough, hoping someone had some so that in future, others could reference too.  Thanks in advance, much appreciated if anyone could share a few.

Thanks, Brian

R5s and aircooled 350s route pretty much the same. which part in particular are you having issues with?

I understand that the wiring harness routes between the coils (comes down left side thru strap first) and then drops down adjacent to the the voltage regulator before swinging upward to the rear of the battery box for the correct routing.  The clutch cable is in the same loom as the wiring harness, but drops down to the left side of engine just after the coils. I wanted to know the routing of the OEM throttle cable, appears that it is under the right side front gas tank mount then unsure how it routes (where does it transition inward and where does the splitter to the 2 carbs and oil pump go). Few years back, bought one from Economy and was having issues on my 73 350 w/high top carbs where turning the handlebars left and right would pull on the cable and revs would increase.  Just wanted to alleviate issues upfront

clutch cable goes around right of neck then crosses over behind coils.  I run my throttle cable also on the r h side of the neck and under the coil mount.

Much appreciated.  From the many photos I have viewed on the internet, seems that alot are incorrect.

dont take my word as gospel, but thats how mine are run and work fine.

Maybe my clutch cable is a bit short, but I ended up running mine on the left hand side because I was getting clutch pull a bit at full lock.
