S2 headset space

Postby Stesjh » Fri Dec 28, 2018 11:28 pm

Looking for a bit of advice. Currently building a S2 and have noted there is limited space in the headset for additional cables and wiring. Try to add hydraulic cable and wiring plus thumb choke. Is it me or is there a lot less space compared say to a GP? Any solutions would be most welcomed.

Removing the front brake cable will help.

I run similar to Norrie heres how ,

Thumb choke runs through Hole in the headset bottom along side the hgeadset clamp bolt
Clutch cable normal route
Hydralic disc cable comes up at the Front of the headset with a small fettle to allow movement
Wiring loom and extras come up the side of the gear wheels
i also have an ignition in mine as well

Hope this helps Toddy

You will make more room if you remove the wiring junction block.

How about going left field and fitting a remote hydraulic master... can thoroughly recommend the Oiltek unit that mounts under the floor on the LHS of the scoot.

Lovely bit of kit
