Default Magnum Shielding Cables

Over the years I've found most folks in here prefer the Magnum Shielding cables for ape installations. Posting this to double check this is the place to still go to or has another manufacturer shown up. I'm in the process of ordering everything. Thnx in advance

I am on my second set and only because I wanted a change from Sterling Chromite to Black Pearl. They hold up great and unless I find something else that does more than what is expected of a cable I will continue to use them. What are you changing, apes?

I am running Magnum as well. No one really did a true black style cable other than vinyl.
I looked when I did mine last year...did not see much other then those...at least for me wanting the black to go with the black

Thnx for the input. Now I have to ask, are the MS cables really worth the extra price opposed to the Carlini cables? Extra $200 for the extended wiring doesn't compute. I need some input here, not concerned with extending the wiring harness.

Whoa, $30? $535 opposed to Carlini's $309, just no wiring.

I paid just over 469 for my set up, no wires. Carlini is 439, no wires.

Not sure why the cost difference. I can only go by what I paid for my set up and compare the same set up.
I stand corrected. I just did a check and according to that...before taxes:
Magnum - 436.00
Carlini - 425.00

Nope, Carlini is $309 for stainless. Just got off the phone with them.

I am looking at the website. I did not make phone calls. If they are offering that price I would take it and run...

The website for a RK...my bike in particular...shows 409 for braided and 425 for black stainless...
