Deuce Speedo Cable

[Lex_Ordo]

Has anyone replaced their duece's speedo/odometer cable?

Just curoius if there was any hiccups that popped up that I should look out for.

Seems like it is just unscrew both ends, re-route, and re-attach.

Don't overtighten the new one, or you will squeeze the gasket out of shape and then have a leak.

I just replaced mine two weeks ago. My speedometer was always jerking up and down, especially at low speeds. Physically, my old cable sheath looked good before removing it. Once I removed the old one, it was obvious that the cable should have been replaced years ago. The replacement was very easy and completely solved my problems.

Hi there, got a question for ya if ya don't mine. I just recovered my deuce tonight, 270 miles, my speedo cable went out about 25 miles from home. Can you tell me where you got your replacement cable and the part number -- thanks a bunch. It's site is freaking awsome!!!

Lex I replaced mine last year and one of the big things is to make sure that you lubricate the cable, pull the guts out of the protective cover and put a conservative coating over the entire inside spring cable assembly, reassemble and install. Its this lack of lubricant that usually destroys them in the first place!
