Default New clutch cable suggestions

I’m looking for a new clutch cable for my ‘97 FLHR.
I think it’s the original stock cable, but not 100% certain of that, I installed 2” over handlebars in 97, I don’t think I needed a longer cable. I know I didn’t need longer throttle cables or even the brake line to accommodate the 2” over bars.

I’m asking for input on available brands; best operation, durability, appearance and value.

I do know I want a black cable.

I'm completely satisfied with the cables I've bought from Barnett.

^^yes on barnett.

i bought a drag specialties cable last time around because of availability (needed it that morning) -- and regretted it ever since. cable dragged/was rough just about from day 1 (and only got worse over time)

the new barnett reduced clutch effort probably ~ 20-30%, by itself.

I replaced mine a bit over a year ago with a Barnett. I pulled much smoother, and easier.
