Some may say I am wrong, but since the original cable broke at 8,000 miles with it routed on the outside.
I replaced it and installed it in-between the forks and now have 72,000 miles on it. I do pull the cable out to wipe it down and lube with waterproof Bell-Ray grease every winter season. Gene Kap.

The Speedo cable on the 1700 Voyager, oh wait, there is no Speedo cable on the 1700 Voyager. Hopefully a Moderator can move this and delete my post.
