custom speedo cable source

Post by jabcb »

My gray GT750 with the Jemco 3-into-1 exhaust is now pretty much sorted & I’m getting to the last few details.

The bike has early-80s GS-series forks that were lowered to the correct ride height with a Progressive Suspension lowering kit. Also has early-80s GS-series calipers. The speedo cable is a bit short to properly clear the caliper. The speedo is working but the cable is routed around the caliper in a way that looks like it will eventually fail.

Any recommended sources for custom length speedo cables?

The bike has the GS-series handlebar, which seem to be a bit more prone to vibrate.
I installed the Suzuki mirror vibration mounts.
The mirrors are now reasonably clear but the handlebar vibrates more.
So I’m thinking about adding back the lost effective mirror weight via bar-end weights.

Any recommended bar end weights?

Motion Pro in Ca. can build you a custom cable. I have used them and they do nice work.
