Throttle cable routing?

I don't really remember how mine was originally routed, but what difference does it make anyway? Sounds like you're in great shape now eh ;-)

too much effort to turn, so I pulled it all apart, lubed the cables,
regreased the throttle sleeve, then when reassembling, it seemed like there
just wasn' tenough cable to easily reattach to the throttle housing... so I
pulled them through and routed on the right side of the steering head and
buttoned her up.

OMFG. All of a sudden, I have to be WAY careful in traffic, since it's TOO
easy to grab a big handful and ride like a squid. I'm sure the old old
grease under the throttle sleeve wasn't helping, but I get the feeling that
I may have had a bound up cable, making it way hard to turn. Maybe some damn
fool routed them on the wrong side of the steering head...
