The speedo/odometer cable goes from the transfer box to the dash.
The rev counter is all electrical trickery!

It's really not mate... piece of cake... it's quite a stiff cable so you just push it through
.... but you don't really need to change it unless you want to know what speed ur going!
I think C&U regs say you should have one... but MOT doesn't need a speedo.
The only time you would need to worry is if you got pulled.. but the speedo won't be going anywhere when ur stopped

yeah i remember the speedo thing when i use to work at the motorcycle place in horley.. legal requirement for the road but NOT for a MoT. weird.
ima have a look through my spares first. but im not driving it untill i do the track rod end... dotn like the handling.
using the bike... very fun!
