Default Braided cable dealers

Before you tell me to search, I did! There is too many posts to look at.

My bike is apart, and I want to switch up to braided front brake lines and cables. Who has the best deal out there in your experiance?

Thanks in advance.

Before you do it make sure you know what you are in for. I just replaced the handlebars on my 05 RK with Wild1 Chubby bars. I fugured while I'm at it I might as well upgrade my cables to braided. By the time I was done, I removed my entire nacelle, touring lamps, headlamp, entire exhaust system, and a partial removal of the gas tank. It looks great, and I'm glad I did it, but it is a lot of work just for braids. Good luck if you choose to do it.

Bill, that's why I want to do it now. I'm painting my inner fairing, and putting on chrome fork lowers, so the whole front end of the bike is ripped off. Now's the time. I've got about 5 hours into this already, and nothing is done yet, other than the rip down.

Tax depends on where you live

I got mine from Chicago HD, but I also live in IL. 20% off though

If all you are getting is the front brakes, I looked and looked and finally didn't really find any better deals than the MOCO's lines bought at discount from Chicago HD. I knew they were going to fit and didn't require me to remove much of anything. Bleeding them out took a lot more time than installing them...

Going with all the cables braided would be a lot bigger job...
