Motion Pro ss cables questions

I am not condemning Motion Pro but one of their clutch cables failed on me after a few thousand miles (under 10K). It was fraying up at the clutch lever. Not a lube problem, as I'm sure you know insufficient lube can make a cable fail. It was a smaller diameter than the original type cable and didn't have a heat shield on it like the Barnett replacement I am now using. This is on a 1979 FXS. I'll use one of their cables again sometime, but if it failed once more in such a short period of time, I'd be done with them. I understand they will custom make any type cable a builder needs...of course, so will Barnett.

The reason I ask is that I'm adding 18" apes and I already bought my bars and risers straight from Carlini, but Hill City Customs said they would make me a package deal on extended harnesses and a full set of cables. They use Motion Pro for everything but the clutch cable; they use a Barnette for that due to the six speed. I think the package deal was in the $250 range. I'm more familiar with the Barnette cables and really like them but wanted to find out about the Motion Pro quality.
