Hi.
I'm replacing my shifters, and that means recabling and retaping. The shifting cables take a different path out of the new shifter, hugging the handlebars rather than coming out of the side. I'm trying to leave enough slack in the housing to accommodate a fully-turned wheel.
Does the highlighted cable house look right?
Thanks.

No plenty of length in it.
Unless you plan on doing instantaneous turns >90°, you’re fine.
Do check for rubbing at normal steering angles, as that may work on/through the paint.
If when you fully turn the bars the cable is pulling slightly out of the stop, then yes, a bit too short, unless that will never occur even while the bike is stationary. If it does happen then you’ll have to check that the outer is properly seated in it’s ferrules afterward. Personally I’d refit with slightly longer cables.
Looks fine to me
I dont think youll be doing any bar spins with that so its fine
