My throttle tube is die cast zinc from roughly 1974. Fits the stock control box just fine. Pretty much any tube for 1" bars will fit the stock control box, even those set up for push-pull dual cables. You just use the pull side. Tubes are generic, all the metric big 4 interchange with HD.
Harley has used Japanese designed parts since the 1970s: Honda shocks, forks and brakes; Toyota/Mitsubishi/Subaru starters; the Evo and Twin Cam are Yamaha, Kawasaki and Toyota collaborations, specifically cylinder head and valve train components; Stanley of Japan lighting components and wiring; Bridgestone/Dunlop of Japan tires (even though the tires say Made in USA, they are Japanese engineered)...
Parts is parts. My Savage has a Kawasaki seat, Harley Shovelhead fender, Harley flat track gas tank with Honda gas valve, USA made handlebars, Chinese (Cheng Shin) rear tire being replaced with a Dunlop of Japan Qualifier cruiser pattern tire, Taiwan Ted (V-Twin Mfg) tail light replacing another Taiwan Ted tail light... Emgo (Taiwan) air filter and oil filter, John Deere fuel line, USA made (Taylor) inline fuel filter...
