    Honda 250sx speedometer Question?

    What other models will fit my 1985 honda 250sx? My sx has the drive gear box for the speedo already on the wheel. Would a 200 big red speedometer and cable work? Thanks

    I would also like to know if the cables of lets say a 200 big red or 250 would fit the drive gear that i have on my sx already?

    Yes it will fit both ends correctly. Just might not be quite long enough

    Ok thanks. Can you get replacement cables for the speedometers also?

    I never was able to get the absolute correct length (29 inch I think it is). I did go with a longer one though for my 300ex trike conversion only because of custom center location of my speedo head.
    My friends Bigred got my oem correct length speedo cable to replace a "too long" one I put on her Bigred about a year ago (and I used hers,,, a trade that worked out beautifully)
