Remove 3 Allen screws from triangle name plate on speedo console . I prefer to undo the 3 connectors to the idiot lights also .Wiggle speedo forward an inch (out of slot in front of tank bridge , Do not lose oval shaped rubber washer that goes in slot) . Put heavy towel on tank . Use multi grip to undo speedo cable end from speedo. Undo lower end of cable and pull cable thru . Assuming it is in two pieces, remove cable from speedo end also. I get my cables made up . Take the two pieces to a cable maker . Buy two . When re-assembling slide cable up tube and fit lower end first and tighten , routing the cable so it does not rest against the mudgaurd. Lube the MOUTH of the oval washer so it doesn't get pushed out when reassembling .

You might be better off with the one for the Nomad. It's a little longer and that should help keeping it from breaking.
