you can buy the (nylon ?) black mesh stuff that is similar to what factories use as wire loom, and on hoses...
I priced some wire loom a few years ago for making Audio Wires...
wasn't to pricey, and looks better than the standard hose.
just an idea, and there may be a better product that I dont know about.

I needed a front brake line quickly so I stopped by the dealership and they sold me a Harley one for about $60, it was in a Harley pkg but had a Goodridge tag on it. go figure.

I'm not surprised, when I picked up the lines I ordred from Magnum Shielding, their factory is only 20 miles away. I noticed a Harley cable display board on the wall and when I asked the lady about it I was told that they were the (or one of) supplier to Harley for their Diamondback series.
So when I got home I compared their Chromite II lines with a set of the Harley Diamondback I have and except for the price and the makeup of the clutch line I had a hard time telling the difference.
As for using the mesh check out this posting, maybe it will help you out.
No problem, you really should try going through that DIY thread and the others in the different sections, Dyna, Sporty etc.
There are a lot of really great ideas that virtually anyone can do and they won't cost you an arm and a leg like nearly anything from a dealer.
Best of all is that you'll have the satisfaction of being able to tell anyone who asks where you got it, 'I made it'.
