Good morning all
Has anyone else experienced fitment issues with "replacement" tachometer cables? More specifically for '75 XS650B.
I have just turned away my second purchase. My original cable jacket measures just under 30" flange to flange.
First purchase was from eBay and was supposed "NOS" part # 447-83560-01-00. It was nearly 4" shorter than the original I had taken off - and that itself probably could've used another inch (couldn't we all ).
I then turned to a more trusted source - Speed & Sport Yamaha) and purchased their NOS cable part # 447-83560-01-00. That one was 1-1/2" short!!!
The inconsistency is surprising to say the least - especially when parts are coming in with aged labels reflecting the correct part #.
I'd really like to get this resolved and have no issues turning to a trusted source for a replica replacement cable. It need not be NOS. I just want the issue resolved.
Anyone else experience a similar problem?
Suggestions for a dependable/reliable source for a replacement cable?
