It must be the logical way to put them on top because probably the majority of XS's have them that way, but the correct way is definitely underneath.

hey wiz,
the speedo/tach cluster sits at the bottom
of the top tripple tree,
it might not matter, but it could cause the speedo
cable not to reach,   jat.

youll be finished before u know it.   :D

Fred, I just checked my CD manual & it gives the final gear lash as 0.25~0.50mm (0.010~0.020in)
