1975 Honda CB500T Speedometer Cable and Plug

The cable and the plug solve different problems. The cable that names the 1975-76 CB500T is black, 38.5 in. end to end, and replaces 44830-425-870. The gear plug is 15mm outside and 22mm long, and its finished model lines do not include a CB500T year.

1975 Honda CB500T · Cables Buying guide

Cable length versus the gear plug

Replace a broken cable with the 38.5 in. piece when that length matches. Use the plug only on a drive that takes 15mm by 22mm. Do not treat a CB500K or CB550 line as a finished CB500T plug fitment.

When the cable is the right part

Order the cable when the inner cable or housing is done, and only if you need 38.5 in. end to end. It replaces 44830-425-870 and names the 1975-76 CB500T. It does not set the 7:1 tach drive or choose KPH versus MPH. Wrong dial units are not fixed by cable length.

Do not inherit the plug from the cable

The plug is a 15 mm by 22 mm cap so the drive gear stays clean. Use it only when you need to cover that gear. The black cable, 44830-425-870, is the separate 38.5 inch drive for the 1975-76 CB500T.

Cable length or gear plug?

Is 38.5 in. the only length printed for this cable?

Yes. This cable names the 1975-76 CB500T and replaces 44830-425-870, and 38.5 in. end to end is the length given. The description does not offer a second length. Measure the cable you are removing and order this one when it matches.

Does the gear plug fit because the cable does?

Match the plug by size, not by hoping it is a short cable. It is 15 mm by 22 mm and only caps the drive gear. The 1975-76 CB500T cable is the separate black cable at 38.5 inches.

Will a new cable convert KPH to MPH?

No. The cable drives the speedometer. It does not print the scale. MPH or KPH comes from the gauge face or from a replacement instrument and its stated ratio. This cable is 38.5 in., black, and made in Japan.
