Another vote for magnum. And I'll add that the customer service is excellent. I had to make a change to my brake line after I received them. They took care of it very quickly.

Here is a question the OP should not mind me asking: for you guys that have swapped out the stock clutch cable for the aftermarket ones, do you notice an easier pull? They tend to advertise low friction, etc - but wondering what the users have to say?

I went with Magnums about 4 years ago. They are a great company to work with and I have not had any issues.

Good question HD Pilot! Now I wonder the same and it looks like Magnum has won the round.

I've used Barnett Stealth Series twice now. No complaints both times and the fitment was great too. Bought them through HD Bike Parts and they figure your length. Just specify what bars your going with and what bike it's going on. Happy customer.

I was very surprised at how much smoother/easier the clutch pull was with the magnum clutch cable.

My buddy got the Burly kit when he did his 13.5" setup and there is quit a bit of extra cable! Before the Motion Pro I was going to go with the Barnett, just found these to be priced a lot better and the Magnums are way over priced in my book!
Magnum's dont cost any more than Barnett or other brands...im looking at a price sheet and they are the same price in the Drag book. i like the magnums.

Honestly, it's not a drastic difference. I would say the difference is not in the pull, but in the snap back to resting position.

Well it looks like I'll go with Magnums, was going to go with the Burlys kit but everyone says they run too big so that settled it.

Hopefully the Magnums will be pure black. Thanks for feedback folks!
