Default Speedometer Cable Replacement

Speedo cable broke into. I called the Harley shop and they said that the only one they could get was the Drag Specialties cable, I guess it will be alright. Anyone use one of these.

if the inside cable broke, you can get a universal replacement at any auto part store. it's very easy to cut to length and put back together.

Barnett makes a replacement cable that is better than the DS one.

Thanks, The cable will be here today, I'm surprised that I didn't think of Barnett, I always used theirs in the past, It's hell getting old...
