I believe I have a NOS speedo cable.  I will confirm this evening.

I believe he is looking for a speedo cable, that appears to be a throttle cable.  The speedo cable part number for an 80' 440 Drifter is:  54001-3503. 

There are a couple on eBay, but a bit pricey IMO.

Ha, good point!  Interesting that cable also fits the H2.

The cable that I have is from a speedo kit that I picked up.  I used the speedo out of the kit but still have the rest.  I'm not sure what model the kit was for.  I was thinking it was for a Drifter but the part number is shorter with no "-" more like the old Sno-Jet numbers so it might be for an Intriguer?  Or?

Not according to the parts book on Kawasaki's website...
