Default Braided cables

Going to 14.5" apes on the SB. I have looked high and low and cannot come up with a set of black braided cables. Any ideas?

Closest I found was some ebony goodridge brake lines from J&P, but no cables. I'm looking too. Hope we find some.

Russel has some sweet black brake lines also, but may not be too aesthetically pleasing with the rest of cables being silver. [:'(]

hey reded, i've got that Ebony line from Goodridge coming along with a black line from Russell ....i'm gonna compare the two and whichever is blacker is what i'll obviously go with ....if you stumble across Magnum Shielding's "Black Pearl" line, be forewarned, they're not black at all...i mean, they're a great looking line and of obvious good quality, but they're gray.... i posted something on this about a week ago

anyway, the closest i could get to good black lines was a Barnett clutch cable and of course, the brake lines by Goodridge and Russell ...other than that, those of us who like it over on the dark side will have to settle for stainless, for now....or grayish lines

Go to Ebay and search for Harley cables.

Searched ebay to death, only black cables are vinyl coated. Only looking for braided cables. I may have to go with the gray. I know as soon as I get the Black Pearl some company will come up with the best looking black braided lines the world has ever seen.
