Let's see, step one: "remove the speedometer set screw." Easy enough. Hmm, the recess looks pretty small, what size allen wrench is that? None of mine fit. Wait, where's my damn glasses, that doesn't look quite right:

Wha? Quick forum search for that set screw... oh. So this is how it's going to be, huh? (sighs...)

I found the speedo cable set screw in the parts book... Frame Group, Block #2A, Ref. #437, Part #93700-05016-0A, "screw, oval, 5x16". I can't find the tach cable set screw in the parts book. I declared earlier that I had read somewhere that they're the same screw, but not sure now where I came by this info. Can anyone confirm whether they're in fact the same screw?

Hmm... seem to be the same diagrams I've got already - anyway, I don't see the tach cable set screw...

I'm pretty sure that they are the same size. I'll check tomorrow.
I bought a set of engine case screws online for my bike which included the tach cable screw, but it was completely wrong. I cut down a longer screw to the right length in the end.

I just checked mine. 5 x 18mm countersunk head and it does fit the Speedo drive as well.
