Bars look like US bars and if switch wires go inside and fit they would be correct are they reinforcedinbetween the clamp positions where the wiring comes out?
Does the bike have a vin plate on the RH side of the headstock with year details and same number as stamped on LH side of headstock?

I'll check on this tomorrow. Definitely a VIN plate on RH side of headstock, and it's the same number as the one stamped into the LH side... I don't remember seeing a date though. I will double-check.

Bryanj:
The US plate states the vehicle conforms to state legistlate in force on a build date, or some such verbiage.
I can get a pic of one for you or post a pic of yours, it sounds like yours is probably a US model and you need the US cables.

There should be build and pdi sheets for the 500 four in ashs dropbox.

EDIT sorry not everything in dropbox and alladins cave links dissapeared at last forum update, not Steves fault!

I think cable routing is in the manual which is downloadable from the dropbox

Thanks for that tip BryanJ. Here it is. I feel like I should bake a cake ;)

Bryanj:
Thats def a US bike i would try getting US cables from Mr Silver, he does list them

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
IMHO  worth removing the cable and measuring the length of the outer cable, some sellers list cables by length.

Certainly worth getting the cable routed correctly.
