Anyone know where I might find a new speedo cable for a '74 MT250? How about one that will cross-over & work? Thank you ~JM~ |

The 44830-425-870 MT250 speedo cable is still available from Honda. You could order it from a Honda dealer, or BikeBandit, Babbitt's etc. should have it. Ray |

Hey Ray, Thank you for that part number. I just ordered one from Bike Bandit. I figured the part was old enough to be discontinued. ~JM~ |

JM, A lot of the parts are discontinued, but sometimes you get lucky, especially with ones that were used on many different models. I enter part numbers into the BikeBandit search to find out if they're still available or not (parts with a 'Qty' window showing are still available) and also to see which models shared parts (the 'Fits machines' link). Unfortunately, BikeBandit converts the OEM part numbers to proprietary ones, so you can't pull up a diagram and get OEM numbers for searching on eBay etc. - otherwise I feel it would be the best search engine by far. I used to like the Babbitt's search engine and used it almost exclusively, but they went and "improved" it again and now it's super slow, at least on my computer. It uses OEM numbers for everything, though: http://www.babbittsonline.com/honda-motorcycle-parts I order almost all my parts these days on my local dealer's Web site, then pick up the parts at the store.
