Got a question about the design of the speedometer head end of the cable: The '79 I am working on came without a speedometer or it's cable. For now I put on a spare speedometer from my '80 and ordered a used cable from a '79 XS400 but the end of the cable which connects to the speedometer head has a different design than that of my '80. I know the gauges were a little different before 1980 but have never seen a '79. I plan on installing a '79 speedometer in the future but thought I could get by now with my spare '80 head. Any help is appreciated.
I'll post a pic later tonight of the cable I just got.
Here you go:
What I want to know about is the connector. On my '80, it connects to the wheel and speedo head by a screw-on connector. This cable has another type of connector. Is that the way '79 and earlier ones are?Yes, the cable is square.
