450 throttle cable

I tried to do a search before posting but was told the words are "too common".
I wonder if anyone has a good source for NOS or A/M throttle cables for my K5 CB450. I can't find anything except 10" over on E-Bay or $37.00 for a set from Bike Bandit.

Anyone looking to make their throttle into a 1/4 turn deal-- the XR75 or MT250 (or any of those smaller single pull only throttle tubed bikes) have a 45mm diameter big end on the throttle tube. You will need a corresponding housing (MT125/250 or XR). So, this would be for a custom-- Cafe or Chopper. The CB450 (and I imagine the CB350) curved cable end screws right into the housing

Since they remain available from Honda, you won't see many on EBay.
Bike Bandit is not the cheapest source on the net, try Western Hills or one of the other Honda places.......

I think you just need to get over it and order one from Honda.
You're gonna pay $30-$40 for one, so bite the bullet and get the cable.......
