These wires seem to be a nylon braid, instead of a steel braid. So I hope these will last. I know true steel braid wires have to be grounded. These do not.

Nice touch Rocky...This is a mod you dont see too often. I may consider doing it to my Deluxe to match the rest of my chrome braided cables and hoses.

For those of you who report arcing, did you have the standard or high performance version?
