Anyone have experience with Motion Pro cables and lines. I am doing a set of 12.5" Chubbys on my springer and found some pretty good prices on motion pro cables.

I never used them and for some reason thought they were medium at best...... don't remember why ? Reading somewhereI quess. But I looked at a set of stainless at a local shop and they seemed heavy and looked real good. Just my 2 cents.

Looks like from there web site they are the throttle and idle cables are shipped dry, were others are factory lubed, so I would guess you have to by a cable luber and lube, unless the place that has them listed lubes them prior to shipping.

I've used Motion Pro and Barnett and they are both good cables. Actually I thought Motion Pro was made by Barnett.

not sure about those, but I used the Magnum Shielding on my 16" install. Absolutely no problems and they look great!

Well after reading all afternoon on different cables and experiences, I order the Magnum Sterling Chromite II's. Full set with Novello wire extension set was just over 200 shipped to my door, not to bad since the stealership wanted 300+ for everything and the wire extension set they had had to be spliced and soldered.

Glad you decided on a set of cables and you made a good choice. The full set with the extensions for $200 is a good price. Good luck...
