The way it was
I took lots of photos before I tore the bike down. This was how the points wire was routed. Something doesn't seem right to me. Is this right? Also there is a huge tie down on the case just north of the pump cover. There was nothing going through that when I got the bike. What's supposed to travel through that?
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: The way it was
Points loom routing is correct. Odd that it runs like that but hey ho. I've had two 550s, one was dealer bone stock (horribly grubby when I got it though) and it was like that.
The bigger tie down is intended to hold the float bowl overflows (3) and vent tubes (2) from the inter-carb joints and direct any fuel down the hole at the rear of the case.
Cheers,
Mike

Re: The way it was
Seems like way overkill for tubes. I never use anything on the vent fittings. I just leave them open. Thanks!
