500F2 speedo cable length

(1/1)

Rolfbulmer:
My speedo cable length is 38”. What I am after is a shorter one at about 30” - this is because i have fitted a very small front mudguard and the current cable just looks ugly and spoils the line and look at the front. I tried the tacho cable which has the same fittings but this is too short at 26”.
Does anyone know where I can get either a 30” speedo cable or a 30” tacho cable please.
I was wondering if perhaps a different model may be of the required size.
All ideas appreciated. Thanks.

Bryanj:
I think you may have problems there as most front ends are similar, you could try a GL 1000 tacho which, from memory, runs from back of cylinder head to clocks, no i ddont have one to measure, CX 500 tacho possibly

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It's no help but back in the 1960s you could get inner cables cut to the required length they were squared off at the end by the suppliers.

Oddjob:
How longs a tacho cable? same design IIRC.

Rolfbulmer:
Hi odd job, I have tried the tacho cable but it is too short at 26”.
