Speedo Cables

Speedometer Cables for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles and Custom Bikes – Replacement Parts and Accessories

Speedometer cables are essential components used to transmit the rotational speed from the wheel or transmission to the speedometer. The rotation of the front wheel, rear wheel, or transmission is transferred and redirected via a gear drive or a worm gear. The flexible speedometer cable then transmits this rotational movement to the speedometer. Inside the speedometer, the rotation of the cable is converted into the movement of the needle, allowing the speed to be displayed.

What types of speedometer cables are available?

Depending on the application, speedometer cables vary in design: there are cables for rear wheel connections, transmission connections, and front wheel connections. Special speedometer cables are also available for classic Corbin accessory speedometers. When connecting to the speedometer cable, the thread on the drive side is crucial. The matching nut on the speedometer cable, the coupling nut, must be compatible.
