Exclamation Speedometer do i convert??

I have a 94 sporty with a 2008 V-Rod front end. So now my problem is that the 3/4 inch speedometer cable drive obviously wont fit on my 1'' axle. Do they make something to adapt? Or can/should I convert to rear speedometer and do they make one for belt drive. Rather not go the rear route if i can help it. Either way any advice would be much obliged. Thanx

Got family in Colorado Springs!

Is a 1" one available? Most unlikely - Harley went to trans driven speedos long before they went to 1" axles. However it may be possible to machine the current hole out to the correct size. All you need is a small custom shop or similar with the right tooling.
