Where to find a shorer speedo cable?

I am looking for little shorter speedo cable. Lowered the gauges a little. . Also, is there a difference in the size of the lower ferrule between the Z1 and the KZ's? I have some spare cables around but the ferrule housing is larger than my speedometer drive.

I have a shorter cable somewhere that I bought by mistake for my 1000 and you can have it for free.
What length do you need?

Thanks, that cable is 32.5 " end to end. I will have to do some mocking up to see.

I'm not sure how you measured the housing but the cable I have measures 34.125 inches tip to tip of the inside cable

I measured the outside ,not the inner cable. Oustside was 36" and I think the inside is (cable itself) is about 38.
