I've heard that Z1 Enterprises makes custom length cables, not sure if this includes tach cables or not but might be worth an email/call.Rob

Check out your local yellow pages for instrument repair shops - car instruments. There's one local to me who will make up drive cables for anything.
If I can get it done here in NZ, there's sure to be someone in the UK....Comment

Agemax, I'm with you on this. The tach cable rubs the front fender when the forks compress. Post your results.NO PIC THANKS TO FOTO BUCKET FOR BEING RIDICULOUS

i found a company called Cable-Tec in the UK.
they make or modify any cables to your own spec, control cables/speedo/tacho pretty much every cable you can think of.
they quoted £30 + vat + shipping just to shorten a tacho cable!
i think i will find a local breakers yard and search through their cables until i can find a suitable one.1978 GS1085.

I can measure a couple….
The one on the 1981 650G looks to be about 530mm.
Maybe try a 750?Last edited by tkent02; 12-13-2012, 01:29 PM.Comment
