Manwithredbike: Yes I have considered a loop/spiral but this has two problems;
1. space for it and where it would sit - ideally it would have to be centred on the tangent between the frame exit point for the loom and the headstock so at about 2.00 0'clock in plan view above the headstock. I have 20 + wires 1mm OD going around that corner, instrument nacelle, speedo sensor, LH and RH switchgear and front brake light switch, CCTV screen, headlamp and front indicators.
2. when I made the loom up I bought thin wall insulation cabling which actually seems to have stiffer composition insulation, added to the fact that in selecting the wire core size to use for each circuit I have chosen conservatively, probably using larger copper content than was strictly necessary for that particular circuit. Some might argue it is a problem of my own making.
