I don't know if these will help you, I don't have an airbox on the 1000, these are older pics. that I already had
If these don't help, I can go take some pics. of the 900 that still has the airbox

That's how I figured it HAD to go, but it just doesn't seem right that they designed it for the wires to snake outside the frame.
I appreciate the pics

Thanks pete, one step closer, still seems weird way to run them, but how the old lady's is too.
And yes, that's a bike in the laundry room. When I finish it goes back outside and the H2 comes in

Yea it does seem strange that they would.'nt have made a better routing for the harness, but it works,

& you're a lucky man that has a Misses that lets you use the laundry room to work on your bikes,

Oh yeah, she knows it though.
Finally fired it up today. It's my mutt (mostly freebies and a few paid or new items)
1980 ltd frame (kz10006) forks I got when I purchased a virago, stashed away gauges and headlight, z1 tank tail and side covers, zx636 swingarm with dual shocks, 900 drum rear, twin disk front with ex600 ninja calipers.
And yes, I guess I got used to civilized bikes like my goldwing. NO wires route outside the frame
