1980 Honda CB650C Custom · Instruments & Cables Buying guide
The selected cables and meter cushion support repairs to the listed CB650C instruments. Custom gauges in the broader selection need their own ratio, mounting and connection checks before they can be considered for a conversion.

The selected speedometer cable lists the 1980 CB650C and references 44830-KB4-700 / 44830-356-010. The tachometer cable references 37260-426-000. Compare the old cable and connections before ordering; a shared instrument category does not make these cables interchangeable.
The meter cushion references 37235-323-700, with one specified for each gauge and two for the CB650C. Check the condition and shape of the supports already fitted. Custom instruments may use different brackets and will not automatically retain the original cushion arrangement.
Check the tachometer and its drive for wear or binding, route the cable without sharp bends or tension and make sure both ends seat fully. Follow the cable maker’s lubrication instructions; replacing the cable alone will not repair a binding instrument or drive.
A hardened, split or compressed meter cushion can let the instrument move even when the chrome cover looks sound. Inspect the brackets, sleeves, washers and fasteners too. Cushion 73-0096 is sold individually; the original speedometer and tachometer each use one.
They are custom gauges. Confirm drive ratio, available space, mounting hardware and wiring requirements before choosing one; the listed V-plate does not include the separate mounting bracket required by the mini speedometers.
