Go to magnumshielding.com, they are the same people that make black diamond cables for HD. I just got mine and installed them last week and they are top notch.

just visited the magnum site and priced out some +6 cables and brake line and it came out at $255. OUCH I believe I will have to keep looking for something a little less classy.

I'd check out the Barnett's. Should be a lot cheaper but still a high quality cable.

If you want the black diamonds your saving around $70 from the stealer.

Drag specialties - Or do the math and find some stock HD cables from another model that will fit. All of the lengths (stock and custom) are outlined very well in the HD accessory book.

Don't get me wrong. The magnums look damn nice, just not ready to drop that much coin on cables.
