On my f4i i wrapped a rubber zip tie like strap around the cable and the fork and might it just tight enough to pull the cable out of the way but there was still like 2 inches between it and the fork and plenty of room/slack for it to move. It worked pretty nicely and didnt feel any different.

I never noticed this. Makes me wonder if the original owner moved the cable around. I'm gonna check it out today. Does it only effect the sight line if you are tucked below the windshield or what?

No you don't have to be tucked. If your riding normally then it should still block the speedo or at least it did on mine.

I moved mine out of the way with a Zip-Tie that wasn't "zipped" all the way. It did move it out of the way bit the cable was then rubbing my cluster housing and rubbed a divot in to it. So I cut the zip tie and learned to live with it...
