Speedo cable routing and clips?

[pisten-bully]

I've seen a lot of Chiefs with rear wheel speedo drives that simply route the cable loosely from the fender grommet to the rear of the tanks without any tie-offs such as the frame clip in this picture. I can't seem to find any documentation as to what is correct, I don't like the idea of having the cable simply hang there, but that is what I've seen most often. So, what's the <i>correct way</i> to route and secure that cable? Thanks!8106

Harry,

I'm thinking that pretty well all the Chiefs that I've ever seen have the cable routed as per your photo. I took a look through my old photos and found an original back in the day pic that shows it the same as well. I would have posted it but it doesn't want to blow up to a viewable size without distorting. I had to look at it with a magnifying glass!!

Thanks for that Cory! It's not an area of the motorcycle that gets photographed much or in close-up.... and when it does there's often seat fringe in the way!

I ended up running mine behind the gen belt guard flowed better to the hole in the rear fender. Right or wrong I like it better haha.
