Hello, just rebuilding my Mk3 and am fitting a new speedo drive and cable. As it runs so close to rear chain, does it route through the silencer bracket (at an angle) or go straight to the bottom frame tube? Does anyone have picture? Cheers. Pete

#2 for along the frame rail, you may have to fiddle a little with final run &if the sidestand pivot is worn the sidestand can trap the cable; so don't tighten & cut cable ties holing cable in final position until you've checked that the speedo is working cleanly.
Also make sure that the armoured section clears the chain& take care when tightening the nut connecting cable to gearbox (if you overtighten you'll end up having to purchase a new speedo gearbox, they're made of pot metal).

Peter,
Along the bottom of the bottom frame rail. I believe I replaced the original from this position in 1989. Still working fine today.
