    Time to buy a tach cable, too!

    OK, I've re-crimped mine twice and last time with a hammer so it ever comes out again it's never going back in!

    1982 GS1100GL.

    Who should I buy from? Local store says only $14 and it's on backorder. I want a quality cable which will not fail again.

    Thanks for suggestions.

    The new cables are ??? I have replaced mine twice also. Last time i cleaned it very good and applied some silver solder to the cable, twisted the end back on and added more s solder with a torch

        Sorry, total newb here.

        If I want to buy official Suzuki parts, where is the best place to shop? Online is preferred but I can do it over the phone, too.

        Thanks,
        -Bob

          ebay listing number 350215143722.

          Looks a lot like it would work on my 1982 GS1100GL but not 100% sure.

          Anyone confirm? I will ask seller.

          Thanks,
          -Bob

                  GP Sports on the corner of Union & Camden. Not too far from you Bob.



                  BTW. My stock tach cable snapped after about 35,000 miles. I guess I got my money's worth. Replaced it with another stock cable. I expect it will do just fine.

                    I just picked up a motion pro cable for about 14 bucks I think, the quality seems fine, and it runs the tach nice and smooth. Are these any better or worse than the originals? I wish I could give more of a review, but I only have about 10 miles on it.

                      Great. I'll give them a call today - probably have to order and knowing GP it's twice as much as the Suzuki dealer outside of the bay area... but it will save me some time.

                      Thanks for the tip!

                        GP sports charged me $14.48 with tax and I can pick it up Saturday,
