Speedometer/ tachometer route

[Sparkyduc]

Does anyone have a picture of a 1970-1972 speedometer and tachometer taken from above that shows how the 2 lighting cables are routed to the headlight housing?
I’ve looked around on the forum and I cannot find a clear picture of the routing.
Thanks

The wiring bundles on an XS2 are a bit of a rats nest. Especially behind the headlight. To answer your question, the wiring bundles for the speedo and tach are criss crossed, like so.....

Disregard the circle in this photo, that was for something else.

Do they exit out of the speedometer And tachometer and go behind the bracket that they mount to

Bob....that is the cleanest and neatest rat nest I have ever seen

Give me a minute to check.

Here is a photo from my original teardown. This is just how it left the factory. Hope this helps.

Thanks Mailman , That’s exactly the pictures I needed
I sure wish I would have taken more pictures
My memory bank has lost some capacity since the tear down 2 years ago!

I took tons of reference photos if you need any more just holler.

I also have a lot of reference photos here on site in my media albums.
