I had to replace my wireless speedo with one that has a wire because I was getting RF interference.

This might not be for everyone, I'm still evaluating it myself.

After following the instructions that came with the new speedo, I was having trouble getting used to what the wire running from the speedo down to the sending unit on the forks looked like compared to the clean look of wireless.

After thinking about it I decided it would look better if I disguised it to look more like a motorcycle brake line. The main problem in letting the speedo wire hang in the breeze the way a brake line does is it looks just like a wire, not a brake line. In order to give my "brake line" some body I used a piece a plastic conduit that I ran along with the wire and wrapped them inside black spiral wrap. The combination of the wire, plastic conduit, and spiral wrap looks at passing glance a lot like a brake line. I held it in place with a couple of wire ties.
