Thanks for the information. My bike is an /85 FLHTC so I guess in the antique category Certainly go have the nylon gears in the speedo. Graphite it is then. Prob why I keep going through speedo cables every few years. Appreciate the tip!

Change the cable before it binds up and damages the drive on the wheel or the spedometer. Mine was 25 years old and I just changed it a couple of months ago because it broke..
