Hi Holleman

Technical question on your clocks, how have you run a speedometer cable for the cluster? I tried lots of ways to use standard clocks on my Hayabusa front wheel/fork setup on my 78 A2 and could not get it to work.

I went with digital trail tech clocks but would go back to the standard clocks if I could.

Thanks

Paul

Paul,

The Gsxr front end he's using is already setup for a mechanical speedo from Suzuki. It'll just be a matter of getting a cable to mate from the Suzuki drive threads to the Kz gauge threads.

Hi Paul,
like Doug said, I am using a front end off a 1995 GSXR 750. It has a mechanical speedo drive already ( one of the reason I chose to use this front end) I'll work on getting a cable later.

N/P. If you get a part number for a cable let me know as I have the same setup as you that will eventually need a cable.
