Most guys will swear by Barnett or Magnum cables. If I remember correctly, Barnett makes the stock HD cables. I just redid the wife's bars and went with Magnum cables - very happy with them.

I got their EZ align brake cable - the caliper end swivels and makes it very easy to route and align cable. It costs a couple bucks more, but well worth it. I ordered the cable Tuesday morning, it shipped Thursday. Their selection tool worked well, enter the info for your bike and it shows you part numbers for all the various cables and lengths.
