Question Motiopro cables
So this winter im switching to 6" black drag specialties buffalo drag bars. I want to black out my cables....

Motion pro throttle & ideal all black can be had for $20, each, shipped and clutch(64.8") for $50. Anybody have these(searched forum and couldn't find much) good quality? They claim "LW (Longitudinally Wound) clutch cables resist compression under heavy loads to deliver a precise, positive, non-mushy feel for enhanced clutch performance." Mostly want'em cause price is right but don't want cheap sh$t.

I was going to get super glide length idle, throttle, & clutch cables.

I have their blackout clutch cable on my FXDX, it is a really well made cable, better than stock for sure.

Sounds way cheaper than Magnum cables. .

What's wrong with your stock cables? Aren't they black?

The motion pro have black fittings as well.

The motion pro don't have the braided look, they are just black vinyl, but are still high quality cables.

Thanks for the info guys. Yah the price is right for the Motiopro cables and I like the all black fittings since I have to go shorter anyway. Will look nice with the black bars.

Good to know as I have used Magnum cables and brake lines and although they look nice, the clear coating seems to be very fragile.
