Thanks for the response, never had anything to do with Nortons before and was unsure how much vibration/ movement there is likely to be.

Empirical Science
The virtue of Bowden cables is that they're little-influenced by vibration...but even on a standard Commando, a change of fuel tank or handlebar means experimenting to find a line with the least cable resistance.
The worst that can happen is that the throttle sticks open and you arrive at the pub five minutes before your friends. Enjoy the moment.

It's not usual, but then neither are those angled cable guides. So, provided there's enough room around the cables that they don't get trapped between head steady and frame, 5mm should be enough, run them as you please.
