I think when I order I'll just stick it on a credit card for safety

That's the number I've tried Roo, it has never been answered just rings

I did my test in Newport where the bus lanes switch constantly from being use/don't use, it was a right distraction having to try and see the signs around high sided vehicles and remain safe.

Just leave the cable off but fit the drive housing, there is an oil seal in there

Good point Bryan!

Have you been using their online messaging service? I've been getting some joy speaking to a chap called Jamie but as I've said before he doesn't answer some of my questions but avoids them.  I hate that, if I ask 5 questions I want 5 answers not 4!

Couldn't you cut a piece of 6mm alloy to shape, drill for the screw,

Make a gasket, and fit??

Or you could buy a sheet of carbon fibre, the sort that is used for models,

I thought it might need an insert with an oring to seal but you are probably right, certainly worth trying

That's partly why I've not ordered from them yet, lots of iffy reviews

Thank Roo mate!

We've got an address in the High Street in my home town of Kington that has hundreds of businesses registered at it.

It's so frustrating Ted, I've asked yet again today if they can confirm which speedo cable type I need for a cb550, the reply avoided answering the question.  I'm fairly certain I know having taken mine off but confirmation would be great so it's over to Roo to answer it for me.

Digital Speedos website is a bit crap, there's no phone number but they do have a messaging service. I've gone backwards and forwards trying to get them to answer my question about speedo cables for a cb550 but not getting a direct answer.  I'm not sure how you can operate a business with no phone number.

Yeah, bunged it up with a rubber grommet, I’ve plenty if you want one

I’ll have a look later on for you, just out wobbling around the mendips today with ‘The Long Haired General’ on the back.

(I’m on my best behaviour)

There's something about those engines I love,  they look so neat, who'd have guessed they were German.

Thanks David, it's been a bit of an evolving project really, it was meant to be a budget build!😄

It would be good if you could find the details Roo, ive just looked on Louis moto and there are a few different cables so I may give them a call to see which I need, they all appear identical.  One other question, have you blanked off the tacho drive on the cam cover?  I was looking at that very gauge too but now I'm thinking of a smaller 64mm koso
