I have a PWK 26mm carb and have fettled the soldered end on a 'cheese head' type cable (from Scooropia with brass nipple), to fit in the D' slide. But its not ideal and can stick and Jam the D' slide fully open.
Does anyone else have a PWK, OKO or Keihin carb and can suggest a throttle cable and where to buy one?
Cheers

You need a small pear shaped cable end and then fit a solderless nipple at headset. I've never had a problem in 10 years getting one.

Just a normal PHBH extended cable is all you need, the nipple is exactly the same as a standard carb i.e. very small cylindrical soldered end. I have swapped between phbh and pwk with the same cable

Cheers Coast. I've ordered some but spent an hour of my life I won't get back, filing a a cheese head down!
The must be a Chinese proverb there:
He who can't be arsed in waiting, will spend time faffing!

All been there and will go there again and again

I've also spent time filing them so that they will go through the angled bend on top of the carb when I have been experimenting with different angles.
