Does your throttle cable run through the handlebars or outside of them?

Reason I ask is because the early ones ran the throttle cable outside the bars utilizing a twist throttle and the later ones used a slider type mechanism inside the bars. Some say the early style is better. A prior owner changed my late (1965) style throttle to the early twist and it works very well. No binding and very affirmative return spring, something I hear is rare with these oldies.
