Exclamation Cable Kit for 16" Apes

Anyone have an opinion on the Burly Brand kit or the LA Choppers kit that jpcycles.com sales? or does someone know of a better cheaper alternative?

Thanks for the input !!

Ive heard more bad things about the Burly kit than the LA choppers kit... I think I read that the Burly kit is pretty much the same thing as the stock cables but longer (rubber sheaths, not "pretty").

I just ordered some apes myself and I'm going to wait until I can measure the length needed to make an order, but as of right now, the LA choppers kit is #1 on my list (only cuz money is tight... if I could afford em, I'd go Magnum)...

Anyways, I'm subbed to this thread. I also want to know know what others with experience will say about the kits...

I got Black Pearl Magnums, VERY nice product.


Black Pearl HE Clutch Alt (+10) - $79.95

Black Pearl Throttle Alt Cable (+10) - $59.95

Black Pearl Idle Alt Cable (+10) - $59.95

Black Pearl Front Brake EZ-Align 50" - $69.95

CUSTOM Rear Brake Kit 08 Soft (23" front) - $132.95


So, without the rear brake line, you're looking at about $270 for Magnums, add another $35 for wiring extensions if you don't want to cut/splice'm yourself.

I should have the 16" Gangsters on this weekend
I'll get some pics up when the farkin sun comes out

Chucky from LA Choppers will take good care of you. I believe they use Barnett cables.

I ordered a kit from custom chrome, when it came it turned out to be a la chopper kit. all the cables were barnet cables except for the brake hose. The brake hose did not have a manufacture name on it. Real nice kit.

I just installed a Burly cable kit on a bike. Real easy and I had no issues. I would order another one. Only thing that matters is the "look" you want for your bike.
