Need help with 250R speedo cable...length

[RichinMO]

Can someone with an actual 85-86 250R speedo kit measure the cable and see how long it is please? The one I have on there now is way to long and looks SHABBY! Or better yet, know of a Honda dirt bike cable that is the right length. I got a XR400 cable and it was too long too.

Thanks, Rich

You will want to go about 34-36 inches. I got a 34 on my X and it looks fine. If you want it going strait up the fork, go with a 32", if you want more slack, go with a 36".
