Extra long throttle cable source needed.

Does anyone have a source for an extra long throttle cable? I am building a rat bike and I put some ape hangers on it. Out of curriosity I mounted the bars on my stretch and I like it!! But,.......the throttle cable is too short. Any help or ideas?

Maybe a long cable from a go-kart? TSC.

someone used to sell them I've been trying to find them again. Ive wanted to finish my 26 inch stingray clone but need much longer cables.

Thanks for all the input. Correct me if I am wrong but.......doesnt the throttle cable need to be a certain measurement longer than the housing, with a very small lead stop on it? These are made for a specific grip and carb aren't they.
