Topic: Front turn signal wire routing question

[cookindaddy]

This is about a 1978 CB750K:

Do the wires from the front signals normally go down thru the center hole of the post in the fork covers and out the back through the space between the "skirt" of the front fork covers and the front forks (from there into the back of the headlight)?

Thanks.

I just overhauled the front fork seals and installed the front fork covers without having the turn signals in place. If your answer is "yes" then I'll just pull the forks out and reinsert them with the turn signals installed on the covers and the wires in place. The previous owner had the wires coming thru the slot in the turn signal posts which I don't think is right?

I'm not sure that I understand the routing you have. You may wish to download the shop manual (see the sticky topic at the top of the SOHC/4 Bikes forum). If it's the same one that I have, cable routing is shown on page 1-9.

A picture might describe your routing better.

Thanks guys,
Yes, a picture would have been a good idea, but I did put it together with the wires running through the post and it looks much better.
