I know that many here have superbike bars on their bike. I just swapped out the bars on my '78 project for some superbike bars, but I am trying to figure our the best routing for the clutch cable. I have the cable led forward between the fork legs (under the lower triple tree), but it seems like a pretty tight bend where the cable goes into the handle perch, due to the proximity to the gauge cluster. Curious what others might have found to work. Or just go for it? A little concerned about increased clutch effort due to the tight radius.
TIA!

Re: Clutch Cable Routing - 78 with Superbike bars
I routed mine over the top of the right fork-ear, then down through the front of the triple tree, to the left of the air filter.
