Easiest way I have found is to thread a cable outer down the frame and an inner through the hole for the rear brake wiring into the under seat area then use duct tape to fasten the loom to the cables and gently feed and pull the loom through.A hooked piece of wire can then be used to hook the horn wires through the horn stem.Once the loom is up enough for the headset you can then feed it through to the rear light and engine.
