Recommend clutch cable 1978 cb750f

Where do you recommend I find the best clutch cable?

I had an incredible ride along Blue Ridge Parkway this weekend, and clutched like crazy coming down around hairpin turns. After I got out onto the highway and stopped at an intersection, right when I started back up my clutch cable broke. It still haunts me what could have happened if it went out winding around any one of the mountain turns.

Jarman's Sportcycles in Charlottesville worked all afternoon to repair the cable end. I had replaced it last week just so that something like this wouldn't happen. So I'd like to find a better quality cable than the one I got from one of our regular CB750 online suppliers. Any recommendations?

You can contact a cycle shop, some make cables. Otherwise Honda cables are best. More expensive but the quality is there.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
