    speedo cable

    So my katana front end needs a speedo cable to be complete, the GS had a speeedo with a blade type drive at the wheel while the katana has a square type drive. The stock katana is about 2 feet long and won't reach my speedo so i'm hoping someone knows a cable that's about 3 feet long with the square drive at both ends. hopefully off a mass-produced bike so i can pick one up for cheap.

    Thanks
    Tom

    Square drive is easy if you have a housing. A trucking company or some larger parts house's have speedo cable in bulk and can crimp a square end, so a double ended one is easy to make. I have had them made at Napa before.

      Not sure what model you're referring to, but I recently purchased a speedo cable for my 82 550 Kat, manufactured by Motion Pro..if that helps at all..

        i have the stock cable for the front end which is a 93 katana gsx600. total length about 2 feet long. i need about 7 or 8 more inches (that's what she said, ha)

        I contacted motionpro but it looks like its either stock or custom and the custom cables are pricey
