Default 1982 kz 1000 speedo question

I have an 82 kz 1000 j model. It has a non working electric speedo on it. I want to change it out to a cable driven speedo. Can I use the cable drive from the front wheel of any kz 1000? Or is there a kit for changing the over to cable driven?
Thanks for any help.

Default Check your wires...

from the front wheel sensor to the speedo around the fork boot. That is where the wires get flexed the most and they might break. I have had the wires break on two of my 82 models. I have given thought to installing a mechanical speedo but I need to see the wheels side by side to see if they can be used.....chris3
