What clutch cable i should buy?

Hi guys i have a problem, i checked the manufacturer part number on the bikebandit webpage and there says that the number is this "54011-0565" i found some cables on ebay but on the description says another manufacturer part number, in all the sellers says this number "54011-0566" but almost all the sellers who sells that clutch cable are from china.

Also i found a guy who sells a "Motion Pro -03-0417-Black Vinyl Clutch Cable." he is from USA and im from mexico so i think the cable could move more faster than the chinese

Somebody have bought a motion pro or i should buy with the chinese guys?
I wait for your answers
I put below the links of the motion pro and the chinese clutch cable

Chinese Clutch Cable

Motion Pro Clutch Cable

I was researching this months ago when I found frayed clutch cable. No one made quality cable with teflon-lined housing. I ordered one MotionPro and one cable through Ali. Both exactly the same. I suspect that’s where MotionPro sources their cables.

In the end, I went with used OEM cable from breakers and have both MotionPro and Chinese cable as spares in my toolbox. Be careful when installing, set adjuster rotation so that its slot is aimed up or down so the cable doesn't rub on sharp edges of teeth.

On back-burner, but I'm still looking for good cable with teflon-lined housing. May adapt one from different bike that's close enough. There are also DIY kits with unattached end. Trim to length and crimp & solder barrel-end on.

565 seems to be the current, active part #. Note its common to the 300 as well.

566 is NOT a good part # at all

Chinese Clutch Cable

Motion Pro Clutch Cable
Partzilla.com lists the clutch cable as part number 54011-0073 and notes that it is unavailable. I would go with Motion Pro without hesitation. Remember to lubricate your new cable before installation because most manufacturers don't - I know Motion Pro doesn't.

That's the better of two cables available. Difference is accordion-seal on one versus little cap on other.

Don't forget to lubricate it. Engine oil is just fine.

Interesting. I have a motionpro cable still in the packaging and it's been lubed with white lithium. Note that this is for the pregen.

I haven't checked recently but about three years ago they had an advisory on their website that advised lubing their cables because they didn't. Maybe things have changed.
