    Speedo cable differences '79/'80 ??

    My '80 GS1000(S) speedometer cable is ready to give up the ghost, and i have a new '79 cable on hand. Parts fiche #'s are different, but the cables themselves appear to be the same construct. Any problems using the '79? Thanks in advance.

    If it is the same length and has the same drive ends, don't see why it wouldn't work.

    Stuff I've done to my bike:dancing: 1100E front end with new Sonic springs, 1100E swing arm conversion with new Progressive shocks installed, 530 sprockets/chain conversion, new SS brake lines, new brake pads. New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.

      My thoughts exactly. I'll give it a go. Thanks.

        Take the core out of it and just put it in your original sleeve.
        MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

        NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
