Also do you leave the loom in its sleeving or remove it to give it a smaller diameter?
Defo leave the the sleeving on the loom, it insulates it and the slightly bigger hole is fine. I put both holes on either side of the tube just under the crome ring no worries weakening the structure this way.

I should be able to post pics tomorrow for you

Right, here you go. Pics of all frame holes apart from the ones hidden by the legsheilds. Oh and got my prev post wrong. The cables enter the frame from the headset further down the tube that goes into the headset, approx where the bend is for the forks. The loom however goes straight down the tube from the headset. Engines out at the mo, as im doing some work on her and some of the rubber grommets have come out of the holes but you will get the idea hope it helps. and yeah it was bloody freezing in there.... :D

This is where the look comes out at the rear of the frame and goes into the boxes held by scooter loopy bracket

Loom to mag housing, needs new rubber grommett

Choke cable exit for rb kit on right hand side

HT lead & gear & clutch cables

Gears, clutch & HT lead again. I found this was as far back as you could have the slot for the cables as any further back and they had to much of a bend going into the block, although you could prob go back a little more, well out of the way for an rb kitted carb though.

gubbins at rear again

Hope this helps

Yes that does help, not got the problem of routing the choke as using a Dellorto with a flip choke but everything else is self explanatory.

Thanks for taking the time to take the pics. :D :D :D
