Diamondback cables are excellent. I have them on mine, no problems. I know guys that have had them for years and never had problems. Sometimes you get what you pay for. They may be expensive but they also work and look the best. IMO

Whoops.............. thought I was in the sports threads. Sorry :)

Things aren't getting any better.

Well I guess I better throw one in for the CUBBIES!!!

Diamond back cables are on my VERY long list of "what I need!"

My Indy wanted $400.00 for cables (throttle,clutch,brakes) and installation of same. I decided I could make better use of the money somewhere else.

I have had Barnett cables on my bike for 8 years i lube em every year and have not had even 1 problem yet,
I dont know if the company is still in business, and I am not up on the new stuff but my cables are trouble free

Barnett is still in business and have had mine for over 2 years now, no yellowing and no problems. I have the HD brake line and it has held up well too. If/when I go taller on my bars, I will go with SS cables again.

Glad to hear it. I just put Barnett's on my heritage recently and I hope they last like yours have.

I have the diamond breaded lines. No problems and they look great.

I wanted Diamond lines but the dealer in Vacaville, CA told me that they were weak and cheap. He wanted me to buy the Goodridge lines instead. He also said they were cheaper...I'm still up in the air
