Try bikebandit.com . They typically carry OEM parts. I would suggest using OEM only because I went with an aftermarket cable and it lasted 3 months. The OEM part was only a couple $'s more. Both were less than $15.

I've been buying all my cables from http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/
They're aftermarket, but I have had good luck with them. After replacing cables on the 1150 when I got it 3+ years ago with cables from CRC, I have not replaced any and they are still fine.

The only listing on that site that I saw was for a GS850G 80-81. Sence mine is a 79 will that cable work? Thanks in advance.

I tend to think that if that cable would work, it would be listed. If its too short, it will not work at all. If too long, possibly. However, I would just phone them as tell them what you needed.

I looked at bikebandit and they do show a aftermarket cable for a 79 850G.

that is probably a glitch with their list, the only differences that I know of between the 79 and 80-81 850 is the brakes, head, (bigger intake ports) carbs (CV for 80) and ignition, the clutch lever and actuation arm should be the same.
hmm I just checked and the factory part numbers are differant, interesting, I wonder what the differance could be?

Hey great thanks for the link. Funny I looked on bikebandit already before I even posted and did not find a listing for them. Anyway thanks a million. My speedo cable has been broken for about a year so I went ahead and ordered that one as well. On ebay they wanted 25 bucks for the speedo cable and I just bought it for 10 bucks ha ha haaa I love it. Thanks agan
