This year I broke down and changed my steering head bearings. I had avoided it like the plague. Getting the bearings in and out was scary easy on this particular bike. I read all the horror stories and in my case it was too easy.
OK, last year I bought all new cables from Honda a very simple job when you remove one cable and replace one at a time and all in one sitting. Take the whole front end off including the wiring and try to put it all together a month later on and off is a different story.
OK, I have the original shop manual which in some cases is useless. I run the cable up through that space behind the Clocks. Tie it to the down tube. I say to myself I don;t remember it being visible over the model plate on the headstock. OK, move it away from there, now it is to short.
OK I put it over the model plate and I can't turn the bars all the way left.
Can someone take pictures of theirs? No such thing as too many detailed pictures. When I see it I will be even more embarrassed, but the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
I have not even attempted the birds nest in the headlight bucket.
