Does anyone happen to have a speedometer gearbox to an 86 V65 that I could buy? BikeBandit has it but it costs just over $100. The little tang that turns the speedometer cable snapped off of mine :(
Is THIS (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1983-86-HONDA-V65-MAGNA-SPEEDOMETER-CABLE-AND-GEAR-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4aa9507cd9QQitemZ320668204249QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories) what you are looking for??
Ya it sure is! My only problem is that last week I purchased one from ebay that was labeled 83-86 speedometer gearbox. When I got it I found out that it's too big in diameter. So I'm not sure if the 86 V65 maybe had a smaller front Axel than before. The one I got was off of an 84. Maybe the guy I got mine from actually shipped a V45 gearbox or something? From what you know, do all the V65's have the same size axle and speedometer gearbox?
That would be a good question for Silverado Cowboy? I'll check in my box of parts and see what I've got..

You could ask the seller to measure it for you!!
I asked him to measure the gearbox. Sure enough, the 86 front wheel hub is a different size than the 83-85. Figures I'd get the one special case bike where everything will be twice as difficult to procure lol. So if anyone happens to have or know of someone who has a 1986 V65 speedometer gearbox, I'm certainly interested in buying it!

Yeah, we had a guy on here for a while (Dan) who had a '85 v45 (I think) and he had a very hard time finding a speedometer for his bike because it is a little different that year.. He did eventually find one, and later sold the bike..
Just putting another request out to anyone who may have or knows someone who might have a 1986 V65 speedometer gearbox. I'm having no luck on EBAY or craigslist so far. There are lots of 83-85 but no 86 yet. Thanks!
Thats a hard nut to crack I have called all around Houston looking. No Luck even called a few places in North Carolina and east coast..
If you search for used Motorcycle parts on Google, you will find a couple of services that will broadcast your request to lots of Motorcycle junk yards.. Any junk yard with your part will contact you via e-mail.. I've done this a couple of times with success, but it may take a few days..
Wow, thanks you guys! I'll try that google thing for sure!
Hope this helps... prices below each fitment are from servicehonda.com

Silverado, Thanks a ton!! I can't believe that little circle box costs over 60 bucks, but at least you found the part! After I get the other major engine problems sorted out I will order the gearbox! Greatly appreciated :D
