I source a cable in Seoul at the Royal Enfield Dealer (thanks Bong). it was similar, but different and would need to be modified. the Mechanic did not quite get this concept.
basically I had to file off the metric threads on the gearbox side of the cable so it would slip into the hole as opposed to threading into it. this required using a drill as a lathe and a hand file.
the cable itself is about a foot too long, but with some creative placement it is workable.
what I found when I got it all installed is that the outer sheath is about 5mm too long and I would have no adjustment at the lever. all adjustment would have to come off the primary. I really do not feel good about running out the adjuster any more, it is only in by a couple threads and that worries me. I think I have room for an addition set of clutch plates. that will give me the room to make any necessary adjustments.
it only has to work for a week, as I'll be going on vacation for a month and will have new cables from the states when I come back.

My Name is Bones and I am a Rocker. In 2004 I bought a 1971 Triumph Bonneville T120RV. Having grown up on Rock 'n Roll, it was not a far leap to find myself drawn to British Rocker Culture of the 1950's and 60's. My Occupation as a American Service Member has afforded me the opportunity to travel all over the world. with this bike I have been to the Arctic in Alaska, to the deep-dirty south of Lower Alabama to the white sand beaches of Waikiki to my current location near the city of Pyongtaek, in South Korea. My assignment here is for 12 months and I will chronicle my adventure here.
