hi can anyone help me and tell me where to route the hose through the headset on a series 2 , is it best to go through where the throttle cable is?? (looks like it will interfere with the throttle)or would it be better to go through on the other side where the gear pulley is (original cable route) its all a bit tight in there :( has anyone got any pictures or advise
cheers in advance
steve

im rebuilding mine as we speak and saw what i did at the time,i ground some clearence near the throttle wheel on the headset clamp to give clearence for the braided hose,unfortunatly it cant be done in situ and needs to be planned before you put the headset on,as as previously said,i myself have seen it go through the bolt hole with the correct angled fitments,this save filing a groove in the headset botton thus keeping it origional
