1983 Honda CB550SC · Cables Buying guide

Keep the cable connection or close the unused opening

For a cable repair, compare the Honda reference, drive ends and installed path. For cable removal, compare the retained drive opening with the plug dimensions. These parts serve different jobs.

Parts to consider

Use the old cable to identify the replacement

The listed Honda reference gives you a starting point, especially if the speedometer remains original. Compare both attachment ends and the inner-drive shape, then check the cable’s installed path and reach. A similar black sheath does not establish the correct fittings or length for an altered cockpit.

Check what stays when the cable comes off

The plug is intended for the opening in a retained speedometer drive. It does not replace the drive gear or provide a speedometer signal. Compare its 15 mm outside diameter and 22 mm length with the opening; identify any changed wheel or drive arrangement before ordering.

Common questions

What is supplied with the replacement cable?

The listing identifies the black speedometer cable replacing 44830-ME5-405 and includes the 1983 CB550SC Nighthawk. It gives no overall length or numerical package count and does not name a wheel drive or speedometer among the contents. Compare the fitted ends and confirm supplied quantity before ordering.

Can this cable be used for the original tachometer?

This part is a speedometer cable. Honda’s CB550SC wiring diagram shows an electrical tachometer signal, so the original tachometer does not use this mechanical speedometer connection. Identify the instrument being repaired before buying a cable.

Should I buy the drive plug when replacing a cable?

The plug serves cable removal, closing the retained drive opening when the cable is no longer used. A replacement-cable repair keeps that connection in service. Decide which arrangement you want before choosing either part.

Not sure which part you need?

Send your model and year, plus photos of your existing part and any changes to the original setup.
