Finally ready to start on a winter project..
Anyone have a good source for braided stainless cables?

I just got a set of Motion Pro's from Hill Country Custom Cycles. Haven't installed them yet, but they seem to be of decent quality.

I replaced throttle and clutch cables with these guys "black pearl" stainless braided....I needed shorter ones anyway to accomodate a bar change. They're high quality and I'm happly with the look. Hope this helps ya.

The Magnum Sterling Chromite II's are more of a chrome finish. They also have regular stainless too.

The Barnett Platinum's are also chrome finish, but they too have a stainless option.

I've got both brands installed on each bike. Each brand is excellent quality, and would do you right.

FWIW, LA Choppers sells kits that include all the cables. They're purchased in bulk from Barnett. A full kit is approximately $300.

I got the last set from them. A year later the chrome is rusted and the cables have darkened in color. Cheap overseas stuff....never again.
