Default Has anyone done braided cables?

I've always got good advice from you guys so now,
I'm looking for some advice on braided cables... Has anyone done their own? How did it turn out and what brand or style would you recommend?

too many variables...how long do you need them, are you sticking with stock length?? Either way I have been more than happy with Barnett cables, I am sure there are a few that will agree

If you are switching out the bars as well, I'd go with the Hill Country Cycles set-up. I used the 16" kit on my FXD. Quality on their stuff is about average but by far the best bang for your buck that I have found.

Just make sure the clutch adjuster isn't down to low or you will leak trans oil out of it.

run the clutch in the factory position, if you run it under the frame, it --may leak at the case
