Got my SS cables from Hill country customs. They are great quality/priced and arrived in 3 days. Give them a try. Also great customer service. I just told them what set-up i had and they knew just what cable length i needed.

Ordered my black pearl lines and cables from Magnum Shielding 2 days ago. Got a call from Maria in their c/s department yesterday making sure I knew what I was ordering. She stayed on the line with me for 25 minutes while we went through the various banjo angles and lengths.

So far, I'm impressed.

Are you sure that this is still true? Looking at the pictures on the HD website, it looks like the Diamondback clutch cable is SS braided full length and has chrome ends at both ends?

If you look at the pic you can see that the cable is black between the adjuster and the trans door end. Its just that the cable is so short it looks like its all braided, when its not really.
