1977 Honda CB550F · Instrument Cables Buying guide
The speedometer cable is 38.5 inches end to end and the tachometer cable is listed at 29 inches. A separate chrome clamp serves tachometer cable retention; a drive plug is a different choice for a deliberate cable-removal conversion.

The black speedometer and tachometer cables are both made in Japan, but their stated lengths differ. Compare the 38.5-inch speedometer cable and 29-inch tachometer cable individually with the fitted route and ends. The separate tachometer clamp renews retaining hardware, not the cable itself.
The linked tach-drive plug includes an O-ring and closes the drive opening when the mechanical tachometer cable is removed. It is useful for a changed setup, such as an electronic tachometer, rather than as a cable repair. Confirm the drive arrangement and conversion instructions before removing the mechanical connection.
Measure the new routing path and compare both end fittings first. The speedometer cable is stated at 38.5 inches end to end, while the tachometer cable is listed at 29 inches. Relocated gauges may need a different length despite the model-year application.
Inspect the cable separately. The chrome tachometer cable clamp is a distinct product for reference 50462-323-010, so it can be chosen for retaining-hardware renewal. Compare the cable condition and routing before adding another cable to the order.
No. The plug closes the opening after the cable is removed for a changed setup. To keep a cable-driven tachometer working, choose its matching cable and check the drive and instrument connections instead.
