Default Stainless Cable Advice...

I have an '05 Heritage Classic and would like to replace all the cables with Stainless, but need some advice;

- Coated or not? Want long term durability and ease of cleaning.
- What should I expect for cost?
- What brands have you had success with?
- What should I ask that I haven't?

Thanks....

I have no first hand experience but from what I've read, Barnett makes one of the best cables on the market.

I would go with coated, as they offer good protection and keep their appearance. I have had the best luck with Magnum Shielding as they come with a clear teflon outer jacket. They have complete application charts on their web site and are available at many retailers (J&P, Custom Chrome, etc.)

Other quality manufacturers are Russell and Goodridge.
