Default best replacement clutch cable? 2012 Ultra, do not want to lube if possible

What is the 'best' replacement clutch cable? one I do NOT have to lubricate if at all possible (so its lined with teflon or ???)

Do not want braided and all that on any level, Standard black housing is what I want. Stock bike.

Did forum search, not finding what I need.....

Unsure if newer HD cables need lubing or not, always read contradictions on that.

No issue w/ a new OEM cable if that's the best.

Thanks.

hmmm....look cheap dollarwise, unsure how they hold up?

I ordered OEM. Price was fair etc.... I called dealer to verify they are 'lined' as lubing them can be kinda a pain. Also the lube can collect dust/dirt. Thanks.

Craigslist for a stock clutch cable with less than 2000 miles on it before the owner "aped" their motorcycle. Pennies on the dollar.

Good point. If it were a beater bike I were fixing up....prob no issue.

for all the work to put one in....despite how cheap it may be to go that route, undeniably buying new.

I did buy OEM, it arrives in a few days. Thanks.

In my opinion, you can't go wrong with OEM.

I don't believe Harley makes cables anymore. They are not in the catalog or online parts site and I recently picked up a new clutch cable and they gave me old stock. I returned it and ended up with a Magnum cable from Dennis Kirk and they are very good quality.
