    A little neatening up under the tank.
    I had the cable splitter between the top engine mounts, difficult to get at and it was a little busy in there with two wiring looms, throttle cable splitter and clutch cable. So, I made a small bracket to hold the splitter on the outside of the left engine mount. It is now held securely in place, instead of just flopping around.
    While I was at it, I attached the clutch cable to the right side, top engine mount via two small P clamps.
    The cables that came with the VM34s had a curved stell tube which locates inside the top adjuster. This puts the cable in the way of the petcocks when removing/replacing the tank. To remedy, I made two new cables, minus the curved tubes and routed them,over the backbone of the frame.
    The cables clear the petcocks now and have just a slight curve to the carbs.
