    Tach cable

    My tach cable broke but the hose is still good. I bought a new one on ebay and its much to long. and the hose that came with it is to small the thread into the engine side. I can make the new one work if there is a way to cut it and square of the end. can I do that? and if so how? if that wont work any other Ideas. thanks. All the best.

                  If it's a GL go here and ask for a number 46

                  I bet that'll fit.
                  It's smoke that make electronic components work.
                  Every time I've let the smoke out by mistake, they never work again.

                          Go to mrcycles.com and buy an OEM cable.
