Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Speedo took a dump!

I've searched the site and will try all the quick fixes that I've found. If they dont work where is the best place to purchase a new speedo cable?

Thanks

Pinwall Cycle on Ebay.

I've heard Nuclear Medicine Technologists often have hard times finding new speedo cables... I mean, where's a new speedo cable when the lab needs one right? Just kidding.... Pinwall may have a used one, but it just so happens I have a used one right here!

I remember talk of a speedo repair kit for old chev trucks that could be used to fix our speedo cables. From what I remember it's a peice of cable that you would cut to length and then crimp on the correct end to match the original. then slide the assembly back into the original sleeve. I think this was the cheaper fix?

Also in the tech vault I think there is a listing for an old Honda cable that fits our bikes and has an elbow to relieve the stress where the oem cable breaks.

Hope this helps. NR

Triumph sell one that fit,s

I posted about the Chevy truck repair kit but that specific kit won't work for our bikes. At the time I was wondering if there was one that would. The truck has a square drive on both ends. It did consist of a cable for inside the old housing with one end square and a crimp on end for the other end. If you could find a crimp on end like we have at the wheel it might work.

With my first post I misread his post , I thought he was looking for a speedo not a cable. I bought my cable from Triumph but I think I still have the new cable floating around since it turned out to be the drive at the wheel on mine. The ears wore off the drive washer.
