Speedo Cable KZ1000 was created by RonnyP
I am trying to locate a speedometer cable for my '77 KZ1000 LTD clone. Owned since new. I have the dual disc front end and the origional KZ1000A cable is about 3" to short. I do not see any of the suppliers listing a cable for this setup. I'm to old for speeding tickets, and the ride has well over 90k on it!

Thanks in advance for any input.

Ronny P, send a note to www.z1enterprises.com and tell them what you are looking for. I have low bars and just tell Jeff, give me a such and such cable only a couple inches shorter and he looks around to find one in his stock that fits the bill. If that doesn't work out, go to the Motion Pro ( www.motionpro.com ) web site and call their "custom cable" number. They can make one to your needs. Also... JC Whitney used to sell a speedometer cable making kit. You bought the kit which contained a long piece of square wire for the cable then cut it to length with the shield and then crimped on the ends. I can't vouch for how well it worked but a speedo cable wouldn't be that difficult I think to fab if you had the right parts. Sorry I can't give you a part number but if you called them, the operator might be able to look it up based on the description.
