Clutch hose routing.

I have overhauled the clutch pump and slave cylinder and bleed the system. All is working fine however I can't remember which way the hose was routed. Does the hose pass in front of or behind the head stem? I currently have it passing forward of the head stem however it appears that at full left lock the hose rubs more than I think it should. I feel that if I were to make it pass behind the head stem, then at full left lock it would have some fairly big bends on it however I could be wrong. I should have checked it out before bleeding or taken more notice prior to disassembly but!!!
Cheers

Problem sorted. It works out that I did take more notice during disassembly. I found a piece of paper lying around the floor of the garage which had explicit instructions on said hose, and how it was routed. Must have been one of those 3 am jobs!

So.....how is it supposed to be routed? I was going to tell you how mine was routed, but I have no idea if it is correct or not. The previous owner took the bike apart to powdercoat the frame, and, from what I can tell, didn't really know what he was doing when he put it back together. :laugh:

Mine was routed pretty much how I had it, that is as discribed above in my initial post. I could take a couple of pics if u need however I am away at work for the next two + weeks and would have to wait till then.

So you had it routed correctly?

I'll have to doublecheck mine to see how it is routed. Some of the things on my bike are an absolute guess for me whether it is correct or not.

Yes it was routed correctly, or should I say it is routed how it was before I took it apart!!
