putting my speedometer back on and cable to front tire, my cable in the front tire wont spin

Are you saying, with the front wheel off the ground and the wheel being turned, the driven gear, which is part of the speedo adapter isn't turning? If that's the case, the speedo adapter is damaged.

without the cable in looking at the thread in the hub, thats not turning

Then you will need to remove the front wheel to inspect the speedo adapter, including inspecting the drive tangs on it, and the notches in the wheel for possible damage.

I may (?) have had similar problem in that speedo stopped working ... and upon disassembly of drive unit at wheel, there was a large washer underneath circlip, which had worn down preventing the tabs from even engaging with wheel.
An exact washer replacement was found at Ace Hardware for under 50 cents ... and we're off laughing.
good luck!

The two tabs from the speedo drive gear that engage the slots on the wheel on my bike were worn down to nubs by the time my speedo stopped working.

I bought a replacement from a fellow GSRer and the tabs on it look HUGE in comparison.
