Need throttle, clutch, tach, speedo cables for 1978 kz650B2A. Can't seem to find a supplier. Any good known quality suppliers for all of those?

Z1 Enterprises carries cables, but are out of stock on a couple.  Partzilla shows unavailable for all of them but you might be able to get Z1 900 cables as a couple are still available.  You can also try your Kawasaki dealer...he may have stock.  
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

How can I tell? They look OK. Throttle and speedo cables made in China (MotionPro.com). Definitely not bright chrome, more like zinc parts. Clutch cable made in Thaiwan, no name.
I guess cable is cable, they will work. In my case, bike won't be ridden whole lot so they shouldn't cause any issues.
