Default clutch cable blocking my odometer

I noticed that the cable coming off the clutch loops up a bit which blocks my line of sight with the bottom edge of the instrument cluster so I can't see the total mileage, or trip mileage. Kind of annoying, and I can't seem to get the cable to move anywhere, it just wants to stay where it is. Is there any way I can shorten the cable an inch or tuck it with another wire or something? Anyone else have this problem?

Wow thanks for the link to that wire. I just ordered one. I could have made one with a coat hangar but I like the way this one looks. Looks more stock than jerry-rigged.

NICE, this will help when shooting video with a tank mount like I use as well. Too lazy to make one but ordered one too!

I bought one from them last fall. Works great and looks fine too. I tthink its worth the few bucks. Give someone a few bucks for their idea. Wow, I just checked out the site. I got mine for like $5 or $6 on Ebay, same thing, same company.

or you can just reroute the clutch cable. there is a small space between the head tube of the frame and the speedo bracket( right between the 2 bolts that mount the bracket to the frame. just run the cable through there. it causes no difference in clutch feel or stiffness.
