Hi Guys, another question on my 1971 FLH . I need help routing my internal throttle cable from the handlebars to the frame neck where I think it goes thru the bracket ( see pic ) then to the frame tab under the tank . Then I'm not sure where it goes . There is a tapped hole in the top motor mount maybe there ? I can't find any bracket in my parts catalog for final mounting near the carb ( bendix ) . I see one for 1972 , but what they did in '71 I don't know, I need help . Pictures would be appreciated . Thanks, Mike

Thank you for your help VHP-D , I have found all the clamps & guessing on the spacer , but I'm still stumped . I don't know the routing of the cable . Does it run between the tank & the frame , secured with the clamp to tab on the frame ( on the second tube under the speedo ) , then unsecured to the carb ? Or between the down tubes to the same tab , then unsecured to the carb ? Still wondering about the tapped hole in the top motor mount .

i saw this old post since i'm trying to square away my '71 throttle cable also. i was wondering how you made out. i have an S&S B carb and have always run the cable from the right side but the action never felt smooth to me and i'm trying to fashion a bracket mounted to the lower manifold bolt to bring the cable in from the left side. i assume the bendix ran it in from the left but your carb doesn't show where the inner wire mounts.
