Thank you. That is how I will run mine. I like your R68, that is the one I am restoring now as well.

A couple more pics for you. Don't forget the clamp that bolts to the center of the bottom triple tree and holds the speedo cable and the main wiring harness.

Appreciated. One of my favorites. And, yes, the link you gave is for the correct lower clamp. Most originals broke over the years and never got replaced.
