200x speedometer setup help

[userj8670]

Got the speedometer all set and functional. However i was wondring if there is anything to hold the gearbox unit in a stationary position? It moves forward or backward depending on my direction of travel....is this normal? Here is a pic

[userj8670]

Hmmm, let me try again

[userj8670]

also, i have a black clamp that is supposed to hold the cable but the only area it seems to fit is over the fork boots? I did a forum search with no avail. and i def
dont want to mess anything up!

The black clamp should fit over your lower fork leg. It keeps the cable securely against the leg so it doesn't get tangled up in the moving wheel and tire and it keeps the gearbox from moving around so much. Some movement of the gearbox is normal. If the black plastic clamp doesn't fit over your fork leg, then it's the wrong clamp.

Pat - here are the pix of the clamp and the red thing. I have no idea what the red thing goes to??

[Vealmonkey]

The red piece bolts onto something to help keep your speedo cable from getting tangled. You may have the black plastic clamp from a 250r or 350x, not sure about the diameter measurements of the lower legs. And I just found my box of what little bits I have left, it looks like you are missing a little rubber piece that goes inbetween the fork leg and your clamp. I seem to have one. How much is it worth? A million dollars? LOL Pm me your address and I'll send it out in the mail to you. It makes a complete 350x used speedo kit go up in value though!!!!!! LOL

there should be rubber piece that goes in the clamp which will take care of that gap, and the red bracket bolts to the fender to hold the speedo cable also, same concept/thing as the loop on the other side of the fender for the brake cable. i just put one on my 85 200x about a month ago. i was like yeeeehaaaa i know the answer to this one lol.

[userj8670]

@ yooperman - could you please send me a pic of the red piece? Im not sure i follow you. A picture would be sooo much easier

[yooperman]

yeah i will take a picture tomorrow of it for ya.

Yoopers correct on the Red plastic,it simply bolts onto your fender. It's OE Hondaline,,so don't let it bother you TOO much! I think your TAB is missing from your fr hub as to the reason you originally posted. The gearbox should only move a little bit,the tab on your fr hub holds it in place.

[userj8670]

tab on the front hub? isnt that what turns the gearbox wheel? i dont see how it could turn the wheel and hold it in place at the same time...unless im not understanding ya?

[yooperman]

here are the pictures for ya man hope they help, there not the best did them on the wifes phone and i am not to hip on the whole computer mumbo jumbo lol

[userj8670]

so it looks like i have to drill the plastics? Either way thanks for the pics! That was much help. Vealmonkey was nice enough to send me the rubber insert for my clamp. Its awesome to have good friend!

[userj8670]

i also have a 250r fender on it so i dont know if that red thingy is gonna make it on now that i think of it.
