Speedo Position and Cable Routing

[anutz]

So - i have fitted some new headlights and indicators to my bike.....and with some sound advice from some helpful foccers.....think i can wire it up fine ( cheers Sinto!)



Now the dilema i am in.....the speedo i have....is this...



I am not too concerned with the process of making a new wiring loom for the front end - have a few spare base ones and will chop and change as needed etc...

The issue is routing the wire and where to put the speedo....mainly is it a bad idea to have it on the handle bars so its moving all the time or not.......??????

Any one who has added a custom speedo etc would appreciate input

Anutz!!!!

Looking absolutely great

Your welcome anutz re the help, anytime 


As regards to the clock position, think about how the other cables are routed on the bars, they just go down and under the tank, this because they're isn't actually a lot of movement, only movement is from lock to lock and as long as you leave it some slack in the same way the original wiring is done, you shouldn't have any problems

Oh should say as well as above, it will move all the time as you put it as it's going to be connected forward of the bars and everything moves with the direction of the bars think your maybe still thinking you've got a fairing on there
Remember also if you put it on the bars, it may actually stop you getting the ignition key in and if it's positioned more above the lights, it's actually easier to see while your riding as you wouldn't be trying to look more downward to see what the speed is etc
