Any one know how to make very short Speedo cables?

I need one about 8" long.

Ideas ?

Custom Fasteners sell speedo cable extenders, in 6, 8 & 10 inch lengths. Basically a short cable that screws to the end of the original, for use with extended forks etc. That'd do the job.

Bought one of these cables but sadly it won't work, as the fittings are different so going to attempt to fabricate my own one.

Al, Need one to fit a GSX1100EFE front end, would be a great help if you could get the manufacturers name.
