Nice couple of touches to the bike today that may not seem much but make a big difference.....
Firstly I was never too keen on the routing of the clutch cable round the left side of the engine as it always felt like it was exposed with a potential to catch on something and even get burnt where it touched the side of the barrel.
I had a nice little modification on the Sprite with a wheel that helped the routing of the cable and managed to get Alan Nicklin to make a similar mechanism for the BSA. It attaches to the original cable stop on the engine and allows the cable to route cleanly up to the top tube without getting in the way and also actually makes the clutch pull lighter.
Also the throttle cable from the top of the carb had to bend in order to route under the tank on the old frame and I wanted a better solution. I managed to get hold of a Montesa cable tube and Dad soldered it to the Amal carb fitting so that the cable routes much more cleanly now.
The pics show these 2 additions...
