Shorter speedo cable?

I am dropping a small speedo into a headlight bucket I found at my local junkyard. The stock speedo cable seems kinda long now. Anyone know where I can find a shorter version of the Bonnie speedo cable? Is this a universal piece? Probably about 4 inches shorter would do it.
Thanks

Take your cable to your local Honda bike dealer.They might have something shorter with the proper screw held bottom fitting.

This is one part I wish someone found an alternative to. I had to order one from my dealer. Let us know if you find one for a different bike that fits.
