Magnum cables or...
Hi folks -> So I am going to be swapping out my stock handlebars with 14" Outlawz from Chubby 1 and need +6 cables.
I've been hearing mixed emotions when it comes to the cables so I wanted to get a few more opinions before I pull the trigger. So please do share and throw in your 2 cents.
Thanks!

- Magnum - I read and heard that these are the almighty but pricey. Many recommend going with these, haven't read anything negative about them.
- Burly - Heard these are good but that they run size bigger. Like if you get the 14" kit, you can do with 12" kit better as to not have so much left over. This sounds a bit off, but read about it on the forums. I am leaning towards this 14" kit though as it provides everything for the install.
- Barnett Stealth Series - Mixed comments on these. Some folks never had a problem some do.
- LA Choppers Kit - Not really sure about this one read mixed thoughts on these as well but thought I'd throw them in here.
- Motion Pro - as recommended by HD Bobber
Thanks!

Check out Motion Pro. Those are the one I'm going w/ this winter when I switch to drag bars. Prices are great and you can get the fittings in all black. Haven't heard anything bad about them and I'm getting their throttle cables and 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!

Well I had Burley 12" kit with 10" risers + 3" handlebars. It is too big. Got a lots of slack. Didn't install clutch cable - it was too long - 72"
Still have it for sale (but it probably doesn't fit dyna) and front signals extensions - those will fit(if you're leaving blinkers on handlebars)

That looks sweet! Did you get +6 magnums? Did the install yourself or? Used any kit for wiring and the heatshinks? Thanks!
