1978 DT175E Throttle cable was created by 2CYCLE

Hi, great site. Does anyone have a source for a throttle cable that they know fits properly? I've lost all trust in e-bay for proper cables for any bike.
Thanks

No response for a throttle cable resource with 17000 members?

Yamaha changed how they sold them or I forgot.  The later cables are available but not the splitter parts.  (I deleted the post with those part numbers)

Best bet is good used one or new aftermarket for a 1980 DT175 from ebay should work.  I bought one a few years ago and it worked fine.
