I have a 1100 spectra front end on a 81 kz1100. The speedo is electronic and I want to change it to a cable. I dont know the exact name of the part so I will do my best. Can I swap the electronic sending unit on the hub with a cable drive unit? I took the wind jammer and the rectangle headlight off and replaced it with a 7" round hesdlight and I would like to get rid of the bid rectangle gauge console and I dont want to spend the kind of money people are asking for the type of console I want that are electronic. I can get a cable drive speedo for far less. Thx for any help

Coz I dont like the look of the speedo, its rectangular and bulky. I want a smaller one and they want a small fortune for the few "electronic" ones I found. So I would like a mechanical one so I have more to choose from at a lot lower of a price. Im wanting to know if I can just take the electronic sending unit off the hub and put a mechanical one in its place?

ok i get it now.
the manual drive at the wheel may work if u have room to get it in there.
they r not that thin, so may not fit. u would have to make sure the axle is the same size too, .
i'm sure someone here may have 1 from a kz that they could measure for u. check the 1 u have in there now and get the dimensions.
