Compare the cable currently fitted to your 1981 CB900C Custom with the listed 42.5-inch replacement. Instrument relocation or changed bars can alter the required route. The separately available speedometer drive plug has its own dimensions and purpose, so it should not be treated as part of a cable kit.

Compare the later Custom cable with the fitted route
The cable is Japanese-made and references 44830-461-770 for 1981–82 Customs. The separate drive plug measures 15mm outside diameter and 22mm long for the specified drive-gear application.
The 1981 cable listing is 73-0200, 42.5 inches long, with Honda reference 44830-461-770. At the original front-wheel drive, Honda shows a set spring retaining the lower cable end. Match that attachment, the instrument-end connection and the routed length if the wheel, bars or gauge have changed.
Treat the plug as a separate choice
The drive plug is described for protecting the original speedometer drive gear and has 15mm outside diameter with 22mm length. Confirm the intended arrangement before selecting it. Its dimensions do not establish cable reach, gauge ratio or a repair for a failed drive.
Buying questions
Are both ends of this speedometer cable simply threaded on?
No. The original lower connection is retained by a set spring. Check that wheel-end fitting separately from the gauge-end connection and follow the correct year’s wheel and cable procedure rather than relying on a generic cable description.
Can a speedometer cable be used to repair the tachometer?
The tachometer has its own mechanical cable at the engine; the speedometer cable connects to the front-wheel drive. Identify the failed instrument and its drive path before selecting a replacement.
Does the speedometer-drive plug convert the bike to an electronic gauge?
No. The 15 mm-diameter, 22 mm-long plug closes the original wheel-drive opening after the cable has been removed. It supplies neither a speed sensor nor the wiring and calibration needed for an electronic speedometer.
