I am still waiting to install my 18" gimps. Seems you can get a 76" clutch cable in braided all day long but it takes a month to get a black one made...[sm=headbang.gif]

I say if you go apes, the higher the better. I went 16s and at first thought they were to high and thought that maybe 14s would of been a better choice. Now after getting hooked on them I now wish I had gone higher than my 16s
I agree with "yoga". I wish that I would have went taller.

Seems you can get a 76" clutch cable in braided all day long but it takes a month to get a black one made...
kevykev56 - Where did you order from? I ordered mine from Barnett and had it in about a week.

I just finished putting the 18" gimp hangers on mine friday... No pics yet, girlfriend has my camera. I waited about 4 damn weeks for the cables. If you want braided, order them from Barnett, or get the Magnum ones straight from the factory... MUCH faster.
