Joe,

Did the same thing as you (plus got all my stuff from Cableorganizer.com) when I installed oil temp and pressure gauges on my bars a couple of weeks ago and covered up the wiring. Except, I put the clear heat shrink tubing over the Mylar chrome braid and put the heat to it. Not perfect like the S/S factory brake and clutch lines, but damn close. Looks the same from 3 feet away. Was going to run inside the bars, but already have other wiring in there and didn't want to pull it all out and start over again. Just too lazy, I guess.

Yours looks real good in black.
