Default Braided Stainless Cable Set

Hi,


I'm thinking about replacing my stock brake, throttle and clutch cables with stainless braided cables on my '05 Road King and seem to have hard time finding places that sell them as a set, which surprises me. LA Choppers has them, but I couldn't find a set anywhere else. Is there a reason for this or am I just looking in the wrong spots?
Thanks!

I'd think they'd be easy to find...

I've gotten them from Harley and J&P IIRC.


Just one thing. Be careful with the clear plastic covering on some. They're easy to scratch when installing. They look good and hold up well!

Too hard to sell as a complete set as you're dealing with different handle bars, different heights, different Brake set -ups. Too many variables. Just as easy to piece a set together. Either the dealer or a company called Magnum-Chromite will have what you need.

Motion Pro is pretty tough to beat for cables.

for what it's worth andy I have run and installed stainless cables for years on my bikes and the people who use me for service.. Pretty much covered the mfg's across the line and prefer Magnum Shielding products.they just seem to be smoother and longer lasting than the others.

Thanks for the input.
Motion Pro was very helpful and had good prices.
Galfer brake lines seem of good quality as do the ones from Spiegler.


I will contact Magnum tomorrow. I assume they manufacture all of their lines themselves?


Thanks again.
