There is a "P" clip large enough for both cables with a 3/16" mount hole =

<div>Michael- this photo may help to show the cable routing of the harness =
to the connectors for the lights. Obviously taken prior to fitting the body=
. I would have to take a photo of the point at which the connectors come =
together and then to where they then travel down the fender/shroud seam to =
each fixture. I remember putting them in a sheath, which was difficult to =
find. I can't remember how its fixed. This is on an early BN1 but other =
than the color of the harness, about the same routing for the BN2. =
