Can no longer find the OEM parts I need

My starter button broke, so I got a "universal" style. Unfortunately, the throttle sleeve hooks into the stock control, so I decided to just get one of these:
www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-race...ssembly-70-1053.html
More misfortune as my stock throttle cable doesn't fit into this! Or any aftermarket throttle assemblies I can find.
And, again, unfortunately, I broke my throttle cable trying to make something work.
So here's the question: What kind of aftermarket throttle setups do any of you run on your bikes? I'm at a loss of how to make something - anything! - work.
1982 GPZ750, stock (for now..)
1973 VW Bus
Can life really get much better?

The stock throttle grip assy may be available from the Kaw dealer.
If so, Z1Enterprises.com can get it.
