About eight months ago the speedo cable on my speedmaster broke in half. I didnt really like the speedo or where it was mounted so i removed it and put it in the box with all the other parts that have failed to impress. I recently bought a Drag Specialties mini speedo and tacho and this is when the problems began. When i ordered a new speedo cable i told the dealership that i read here once that Triumph shortened the cables as originally they were a little too long and would occasionally break the cable guide on the front guard ( I have an 03 model ). He told me he was not aware of this and there is only one part number. So as you can guess when the new cable arrived it was about 2 inches shorter than mine. I have relocated the speedo and was straining my cable as it was. No way would the new one go close to fitting even when manipulated all ways. I am going to return it to him next week and was wondering if any of the speedo cables on any of the other models, past or present, would be longer than the stock speedmaster cable. I had a Sprint Sports once and from memory the fitting at the front wheel is the same. I wouldnt think that Triumph would have multiple fittings on other models. The only model i can think of that may be longer is the carby model tiger. The fuel injected models seem to have electronic speedos. I dont know what else to do. I thought of having one made but Barnett are not that co-operative in Australia. HELP....
