Anyone know a good place to get cables for an '84 Honda Magna?

Question

Looking for the choke, and throttle cables for an '84 Honda Magna (Not the Interceptor model, the Vf500C). The choke finally gave up the ghost and snapped. The other cables are of the same vintage so I want to target all three now. Oem is not available anymore. I have the choke cable to send in to Motion Pro, but the only way i can do that for the throttle is take it out of service, and ride a friggin bus till they come back. Not really my idea of a good time. Is there any other website to find good used cables so I can send them in to get replacements made? I've already tried oldbikebarn,com, cheapcycleparts.com, J&P Cycles (motorcycles) with no success. Thanks for the help.

Tried Ebay as well. No luck there. They had a couple for the Interceptor model, but not mine.

Honda doesn't make the cables anymore. They've been 'discontinued'.

Go on E-bay and enter your bike model and you will be surprised how much comes up. My son just bought a 1979 Suzuki 850 that was in great shape, but needed things like cables etc. Found it all on E-bay. Lots of old NEW factory parts floating around out there and prices weren't bad. Keep the new cables well lubed and they will last for years.

Honda should still have parts availability on that bike. Another option is to fix yours. Put new cables in your casings, I have done this many times.

Get yourself down to an independent bike shop and have him order one for you.
I had to do that for my 'zuki's speedo cable. Dang thing had to be shipped from Japan.

Also try salvage yards.
I'm reasonably sure I could have one in my hands tomorrow.

Bike Bandit http://www.bikebandit.com/
and Honda Direct  http://www.hdlparts.com/
should both have it.  Bike Bandit is faster, HDL is cheaper in my opinion.
