1979 Honda CB400TI Hawk I · Speedometer Cable Buying guide
The black, made-in-Japan cable references 44830-425-870. Its stated length is an end-to-end measurement, so compare like measurements and both connections before using it with a changed gauge or front end.
A cable’s fit depends on more than the straight distance between its ends. Follow the route on the fitted motorcycle and compare the end-to-end measurement. Changed handlebars, a relocated speedometer or a different front assembly can alter the space and path needed.
An inactive speedometer can require attention to the cable, the drive or the instrument. Use the appropriate service information to establish which part needs work. This cable’s stated model application does not diagnose the fault or confirm a custom gauge’s connection.
The stated 38.5-inch length is end-to-end. Compare that with the complete existing cable and check its route, rather than comparing only the visible length of its outer covering.
Check the drive and instrument connections, the new mounting positions and the route between them. A standard-model cable may not meet the requirements created by a different front assembly or gauge.
No. Honda identifies the 1979 Hawk I’s original instrumentation as speedometer-only. If a tachometer has been added, identify that conversion separately before selecting any drive or cable parts for it.
