I ride a '98 Electraglide with a front wheel speedo drive gear. I'm tired of replacing the cable and/or drive gear every 8 to 10000 miles (currently showing 60000+). Does anyone know of a conversion kit which eliminates the cable with an electronic speed sensor. I know about Dakota Digital but from what i've read their units adapt to cable drive units. Any info would be appreciated.

question.....are you lubing your speedo cable??? and if so what with?? it is also part of a regular maintance program, just like oil changes. i have a 65pan with about 400k on the clock, original cable............

I maintain my bike. I've used a variety of products on the speedo. 30wt oil and a product called "LUB IT" has worked best. The speedo is the only cable I have issues with. It usually breaks at the drive gear on the wheel. After my last episode on Thursday, the drive housing actually exploded. I suspect the drive gear has been the cause of my cable failures due to seizing up. I applaud your long lasting cable. Perhaps they just built them better back then.
