I too have just come across this problem.
I had my front forks rebuilt (by Racetech), renewed my throttle cable
(twice), and upgraded the front brakes by adding a new MC and a brake line
directly to the left caliper.
Still not able to route the Throttle cable without a little pinch when
turning full lock to the left but I can live with that.
Fuel tank is the major problem though.
After the first throttle cable the fuel tank went on so easy I wondered what
all the fuss was about. Alas I snapped the cable at the carb end and had to
renew it. Now I can't get the tank on. Spent 4 hours last night on this
bugger.
Any suggestions are more than welcome :)
Mark

Yeah, I was afraid of cross-threading and the bolt-head was getting
wallowed out so my hex wrench wasn't fitting in too well and so I had
double trouble because of that. As for plastic fuel fittings, it was
because of them that this whole deal started. Both male and female are
now replaced with metal ones. > Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2007 06:26:50 -0800>

the toughest hole to line up was the skinny long bolt at the front. I may
have stripped mine getting it back in (hope not).> Good luck with yours,
