While performing some lay-up maintenance on a LeMans for a friend here I noticed the right side throttle cable is frayed at the carb, it has the huge carbs with the side pull attachments.
Anyway, I recall when restoring this rig, wow, ten years ago that the cable routing was tight inside the small fairing and I am dreading doing the replacement.
Do the cables absolutely have to be routed inside of that little fairing...? I would think the wider, more gentle weeps by running them outside would be better for smooth operation.
Comment...?
Thanks,
Rob

The cables the way they are run currently...

Are they both going around the headstock on LH side? That's how I ran mine, then the RH cable went through frame under the tank backover to RH carb. LM3 I have a bit more room.

I've seen many routed outside the fairing. The original brochure has them inside.

I dunno, I have been too busy to haul the tank off but, yes, probably.
I'll just ensure as gentle a sweep as I can when the new one go on running them inside like the brochure shows... thanks for that Cam...
Best,
