1978 Honda CB400TII Hawk II · Speedometer Cable Buying guide

Confirm the length and both ends of the cable

This Japanese-made mechanical cable connects the speedometer system. Its total length is useful for comparison, but a successful choice also depends on the drive ends and the route around the fork and instruments.

Inspect the system before choosing a cable

Look for damage at the sheath and drive ends, and compare the existing routing with the Honda manual. A cable problem and a fault inside the instrument or wheel drive can present differently. Identify the failed component so the replacement order addresses the actual source.

Allow a natural path to the instrument

The cable’s 38.5-inch end-to-end length is a product specification, not permission to force a tight route. Changed handlebars or gauge brackets can alter the path. Match the end connections and check for a smooth, unstrained route through the steering range before returning the motorcycle to use.

Common buying questions

How long is this replacement cable?

It measures 38.5 inches end to end. Compare your existing cable using the same overall measurement, then check both drive fittings and the route needed by the instruments currently fitted.

Will it fit after fitting a custom speedometer?

A custom gauge may change the cable connection and routing. Check the instrument’s drive fitting, bracket position and required cable path before assuming the original-model replacement length is suitable.

Should I order by the length of the outer sheath alone?

Use the stated end-to-end measurement for comparison and inspect both fittings as well. Measuring only the sheath can give a different result, and changed gauge positions may require a different cable route.

Not sure which part you need?

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