Alternative Speedo Drive Unit for the NS400R

#1 Post by MBevans » Fri Oct 23, 2020 4:23 pm

Anybody know if there is a alternative Honda speedo unit that would fit the NS400R from another model?
Mine seemed to take flight and disappear.

Thanks kindly,
Mark

Axle and wheel size will be the determining factor. Look for something with the same sized wheels. The drive is geared for the wheel size.

Thanks much! I half forgot that the wheel size issues.
Guess I’ll try and source the correct, model specific unit
