This looks at least partially like the drawing... I see the front plug wire goes over the harness (and is zip strapped to it) when it's supposed to go underneath.

(don't mind the yellow wires or the black wire right above it that comes from the tank and crosses in between the plug wires by the coil. They are for my 12v outlet and heated grips)

As I wrote earlier in post # 9, on mine the #3 cap is rotated on the spark plug to roughly the one O'clock position so that it loops over the harness further towards the rear before going under the cowl, which takes up any extra length. I have stolen OBO's photo and illustrated the routing. See the red line in the below photo. This works well as it takes up the slack in the wire, still leaves it long enough to be manipulated for removal and installation, does not force any tight radius bends in it, and allows it to clear everything.
