Maybe, there are differences...still agrees though that the bend is so so thinking how fast it´s rotating.

well i'll be blowed. :oops:
i am the first one to admit fault, and after checking a pdf parts catalogue i see that bracket on the right hand forkleg the other way up combined with another rubber guide on the front guard where my bike has a blanking bung.
i can only assume when my bike was predelivered, someone thought it better on the left leg to stop the cable flapping around.
in saying all this tho, i have never ever had an issue with the speedo . . ever.
here is a picture of my bike on the day i picked it up.

Just to let ya know, on the EU TRX it goes freely up to a guide on the lower inner side of fairing...
I really would not want that running thru the guard if something hangs and suddenly i can´t stear. :shock:

I'll second that. Both my TRX's I bought new were this way.
Cheers,

Me too - both mine have had the guide inside the fairing & a blanking plug in the front guard.
