Default New Cabling

Well with lots of help from many of you here I decided on some new bars. Wild1 502's...... Now after researching I have found that people like basically 3brand of cables. Barnett, HD Diamondback and Magnum Chromite. I don't know anything about cables so again I am reaching out to you experts.
Which ones do you recommend for Looks and quality.. The cables can be the best and shinyest but if they function like crap what is the point.

As always I thank you for your input

I've had Barnetts on mine for a couple of years and they still work/look great. My independent wrench swears by them. Hope this helps.

Check out Manish_Hawg's King, he has the 502's w/barnett cables I believe. You'll get a good view from some of his posts of the scoot. I think I read he went +8 on clutch and +6 on idle/throttle and brake.

I'm going with same set-up so post some pics when your done so can check it out.
Should look awesome bro.

I just received a set of Magnum Chromites from Bart (Shooter64). Best price I could find and the Chromites are high quality. It depends on the look you are going for. The Barnetts are less chrome looking than the Magnums. Both look great on the bike...

Yup, I have spoke to Manish_Hawg and he helped me make my decision on the bars... I am leaning towards the Barnett cables as well. But Wild 1 told me I should get +4 on the clutch and +6 on the others..

Thanks
