I also agree that single cable is always an option. Back in the day, not only did they build the bikes with single cables (solid not braided), they had no return springs on the carbs, and we are still here to talk about it. Far less sketchy then you would think and it becomes cheap cruise control.
Just to spend your $$$, I would then further suggest an internal throttle setup that locates the cable inside the bars, super clean!!!!! I have the one from Exile Cycles, but others are out there, just stay away from the POS that J&P sells. Good luck.

I went ahead and located a Barnett cable on Dennis kirk that is an exact match with the other cables
The very last thing I need to locate for this bike is a set of black gas caps. i'm betting it'd be easier to locate a unicorn.

You'd lose the bet because IIRC it took me about 30 minutes to find them.
Once again Mid-USA has the caps you're looking for.

I've looked at Mid-USA among all the rest. Every gas cap that is duo, not a pop up, that has a recess that accommodates the vent coming up through the right tank has some form of cutesy thingy on it. I'm looking for basic, meat and potatoes, gloss or semi black with quality gaskets, preferably ridged sides for a grip. If push comes to shove, I will go with the live to ride logo caps ONLY because my primary cover which I will have powder coated has that.
The bet is 2 (two) Budweiser's at the new biker friendly bar in Canyon Lake. Forgot the name, but it used to be called Daisy Dukes, or at the Devil's backbone

Granted the black ones I found at Mid Usa have 3 lines but they don't stand out.
I will look again and let you know what I find.
