HD Diamondback idle/throttle cables

I just received my clutch and idle/throttle cables. I was dissapointed to see that there was no clear plastic coating on the throttle/idle cables. The part description read something like, "scuff resistant". The clutch cable did come with a piece of clear shrink tubing. Anyone know where I might be able to get some clear shrink tubing for the throttle/idle cables?

Thanks,
MikeC.

You didn't get diamondbacks then.
They come clear coated

The diamondbacks I think are all supposed to havea clear sheath. The clutch cable has an additional shrink-it-yourself piece of tubing to protect the cable and/or paint, PC on frame, triple trees, handlebars or wherever else it rubs. But your new cables should be clear plastic coated.
