At least one member has found an alternative...

"Motion Pro universal speedometer cable kit, part no. 061107. It's 50" long and comes with 3 different ends to choose from. Just measure, cut to length and install the correct end for your application."
Might try this one if you can't find a Drifter or Nomad cable.

For one, that would be me, :) and yes it's worked well so far. 8)  Great option!

In case your still looking for a speedo cable for your 2000.

On EBay search this-
New Kawasaki VN 1500 J2 Drifter 2000 (1500 CC) - Hi-Quality Speedo Cable

A business out of the UK is making them with shipping for around $20.

I ordered one for my 2000 to have a backup On hand just in case.

ANYONE know where I can order a speedometer cable? I have found that the sites I know of, are saying it's no longer manufactured?? What's a girl to do now?

When mine broke, I ordered one for a nomad...doesn't have the bend in it (by the hub).
Hope that helps.

Did you try also ebay?
If I'm not wrong, it happens to read of 2nd hand cables sales.
Just my 1,5 cents...
