Hi Stephen,

The question is,  where have you mounted the speedo? As standard it would have been in the headlamp shell, so fitting whatever handlebars you like wouldn't affect the speedo cable length required.

The route from the rear wheel can be either under or over the engine - both routes were used and each has its advantades. My (later, slimline frame) cable runs up from the rear wheel, behind the oil tank/under the tool tray,  just inside the right hand top tube then under the lower yoke and onto the speedo.

Hope this helps,

George

If you have a non standard arrangement you can get cables made up by J.J. Cables. , You need to tell them what type of speedo and length measurements .
