Hello all

Looking for a speedo cable for a TMEC chinese 125 bike. Its about 900mm long with square's on either end of the cable.

One seller on ebay but wants a stupid price £39.95 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TMEC-125-Speedo-Cable-/251054060566?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a73fcf416

Can anyone suggest an alternative ?

Thanks
Stu

It looks the same as a honda cub 90 one to me.

have a look at one off a DT125R or RD125LC, (long/short) as looks like the same ends to me

hi, may be a bit late but i have just fitted a new one on my tmec. Got it off ebay for £5.50. listed as speedo cable for GY6 chinese scooter. the end that screws to the wheel didn't fit but i just took it of the old one and swaped it with the new one. works perfect now.
