Product Description
Maintain the vintage soul and legal compliance of your machine with the Genuine Royal Enfield Speedometer Cable Complete. This OEM component (Part No: 145980, often updated to 145980/D) is a versatile mechanical link specifically designed for the Old Model Cast Iron Bullets (1980–2009) as well as the transition-era Electra and Thunderbird models.
The 145980 cable is a high-tensile, flexible steel wire assembly encased in a friction-free, thermal-resistant plastic sheath. It is precision-engineered to transmit the rotational force from the front wheel hub’s drive assembly to the speedometer gauge with zero lag or needle flutter. Unlike universal aftermarket cables, the genuine 145980 features the correct knurled nut size and inner core length to prevent “binding,” which is the leading cause of cable snapping and internal gear wear in the speedometer head. Whether you are restoring a vintage 1980s 350cc or maintaining a late-model UCE Electra, this genuine part ensures your odometer and speed tracking remain factory-accurate.
Key Features:
-
OEM Thermal Resistance: The outer sheath is designed to withstand the heat radiating from the front engine and exhaust without melting or hardening.
-
Friction-Free Operation: The inner core is pre-lubricated with specialized grease to ensure a smooth, silent rotation even at high speeds.
-
Weatherproof Sealing: Features rubber boots at the connection points to keep out moisture and road grit, preventing internal rust.
-
Vintage Compatibility: The primary cable for the legendary Cast Iron (CI) Bullet 350 produced between 1980 and 2009.
-
“D” Revision Specs: The 145980/D version features reinforced end-fittings to prevent the cable from slipping out of the hub drive.
