All the vehicles listed in that link are modern or are ATVs and such, and the only listings for the CB650C are for a few items (most are discontinued of course) but do not even MENTION a choke cable... Maybe I missed it somehow, but I don't know if that is the site you were thinking it was..?
I think you said your bike was an '81 Custom...

That should take you directly to the listings for that bike, but when I looked, it is showing the choke cable discontinued now...
Choke cable is listed under Handlebar@Topbridge
Part number 17950-460-730
I bought mine about 4 months ago, the dealer ordered it for me, so I figured they were still around and didn't actually look before I posted that.
I think the aftermarket one I bought was motion pro, but I can't find one from them now either.
I appreciate the effort anyway. My luck is holding on this one, a day late and dollar short... I will find something out there I am sure, or I will make something work. Half the fun of the situation is making innovations that fix this sort of heartache, and sharing the innovation with others. I have an idea already for a straightline linkage using the cable I already have, if it works, it will eliminate the bend and therefore the source of my grief. I will pass it on if I can figure it out. Thanks anyway.
