:hi: slabghost JC Whitney has speedo cables for between $15.00 and $20.00 depending on year and modle.. 81 1100 interstate CCP010932 $14.99 in new M/C catalog. I have 2 of them here but they have been in the weather and i am afraid that they are rusted inside and may not be recoverable......Bob

All I see at JC Whitney are the inner cables and I need the housing too. If you'd be willing to send yours I'd be willing to try to salvage one. PM me the cost including shipping and we'll go from there.toytender01":y9r48hsu said:
I don't have any trouble sending a cable however why mess with a 30 year old part which may have to be replaced in a short time??? If you are using the computer... go to JCW and at the top left hand corner it allows you to enter part #, enter CCP010932 and the part will be displayed you can order from there... If using JCW Motorcycle catalog 151L-06 go to page 69, top left lists all cables... spedo cable repair kits are listed seperatly as kits. If that does not work for you check my profile for email address and we can work out arangements on shipping. If I had known a couple weeks ago i could have had it delicered to your arer.. I had a friedd who just rode his motor to the east coast ip througs Maine, back across the northern US canada border through the great lakes areaand then back th Michigan over 6000 miles could have made arangements then... too late now....Always a day late and a dolloe short......Bobslabghost":huxfp7h5 said:

:hi:slabghost... your cable will be in the snalemail today. :salute: .... the thing would not rotate by hand :heat: soooo I shot it with a bunch of rust eater, runs fairly free now :clapping: ... recomend when you get it you flush it with wd40 and relube it, I usualy use liquid graphite but any cable lube will do.. 
k: LOL.... Bob

are you sure it is the cable that is bad???? that was what aPO thought on mine and it turned out to be the drive ring in the hub under the bearing seal.... cost about 6 bucks from the honda stealer.. had to wait for 4 days... but it fixed it.. mine was also a 81 1100 (interstate) model.. have to pull wheel to verify that issue.. mine loked like a rusty tin can.. and was as strong as tin foil..

The housing is snapped off about an inch from the drive at the wheel with no sign of inner cable. I've no idea if the Speedo or the drive actually work but I'm pretty sure I need a cable.

GOOD NEWS! and bad. Good news the cable works flawlessly, the speedometer works fine and the drive seems ok. Bad news is the cable seems to travel upward and lose contact in the drive. Should I pinch the gap a little at the drive end of the cable? The other odd thing is while the speedometer is working over 35 miles an hr the low pressure light for rear suspension comes on. I added air twice. Still the same.

Maybe need to give it a pinch on the speedo end? That should keep it from traveling up into the speedo I would think.
gee never had that happen ....either one ....it seems the drive sould stay still enough to keep that from happening ...is it treaded though the hoop in the fender i think ...imsure you will get it :mrgreen:

Yep threaded through the hoop and on the little hook close to the drive. BTW I forgot to mention PO had progressive air shocks installed. Maybe a sensor is missing or not connected?joedrum":14wqzxvg said:
