No!
Where is the Fireblade front wheel going to go, thats where the drive comes from?
But yiou can use a later set with electronic speedo and set up a sensor on the prop or elsewhere to drive it.
(Cue search)

Are your clocks from the same bike that the engine came from?
If so, the earlier Fireblades have a pickup from the sprocket bolt, so providing the clocks and CDI are from the same bike, this unit can be adapted
to run on the diff output shaft and coupled with a speedohealer, will give an accurate reading on the fireblade clocks.

As above with Phil's description!
I have used these clocks using the earlier loom and a modified pickup/sender and have just passed SVA for speedo accuracy!

The guys description says CABLE operated not wire operated.
That to me is a spinning cable like most older cars and bikes had as did the first Fireblades, hence my answer..........
LBMEFM, If I am correct, in th interpretation of your question then I think you will have source some later fireblade clocks with the electronic drive
as I did ,then you can do as described.
I sold mine on ebay and easily funded the new set
