I installed the DK Custom relocation kit last week using Black nylon braided hose with Chrome hose finishers.
No interference with the clutch cable.
Definitely runs around 10C cooler.
And no more messy oil changes.

Any updates from those of you with the DK Customs kit? Any issues come up after having it on for a while?

My guess would be braided clutch cable.
