Title: Extended Speedometer cable
Post by JayDuta on 08/18/14 at 11:19:30

I'm in need of a extended speedometer cable to mount all the way up to my risers for my 96' ls650 Ryca Bobber. I've been riding without a speedo for several months and the connections doesn't seem to be leaking that much oil or anything. Are there any solutions to caping the connection off from debris in the meantime?

Ryca sells the extended cable for $60, but I wanted to find out if any one knows where I can find this cable else where on the net for cheaper.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Yeap, there is a tach cable from an older Suzuki which can be used for that:

Thanks PinkHelmet! Tach cables can be used for the speedometer gauge? Any idea on the length of these cables? Long enough to reach up to the triple trees?

cable lenght is around 44'', about 4'' longer than the Ryca cable.
I just bought one 2 weeks ago, just be sure to take the seal as well.
My cable came from ebay, NOS with the seal for 24$.

Any of you guys know what the thread size is on the engine-end of the cable?

It's the same thread as brass gas fittings.
go to ace hardware and tell 'm you need a cap for that.
