I was pondering with the idea of going with black braided cables on my FLHX. Just wondering If anyone had gone with the black cable route and how do they look?

Thanks

 

sounds like a origainal idea and cool idea

 

building off that idea....

I just had braided cables put on my bike, but was surprised to find out that the black electrical wires are still there. Is there an alternative to this?

 

I was wondering the same thing. Yesterday I put on all new platinum cables from Barnett because I was unable to find black braided. I could have gone with black Barnett's but they were not braided and I wanted braided. The platinum Barnetts are a LOT thicker than the black Barnetts - they look very beefy. I'll be interested to see what everyone posts here. One thing for sure, I have no plans to change the clutch cable again - too much work.

If you are talking about the wires to the llights, controls etc. You can change to fat bars and install the wires internally. Thus hiding them.

 

I went with Wild1 Chubbies, internal wiring looks great, and is much cleaner in appearance.

How do you like the Chubby 575's on your E-Glide? Are they an improvement overall? Any down side to them?

 

they are a little wider - however, I am 5'6" and I love mine, I would NEVER go back... if you use the fairing mounted mirrors, you may have a problem because the wild1'a are wider, some people here say the mirrors can be adjusted - I have these bars on my bike and I do Not use the fairing mouted mirrors becuase I believe they will not work well - I Want to see what is behind me...

bottom line, No Down side at all - you can install them your self if you are a little brave, take your time and have the service manual

 

I don't think this thread is about hidden wires we're talking about black braided in case you failed to identify that part of the thread, stop hijacking threads, please!!![:@]

Now, where do you find/buy black braided cables?

 

WOW! Someone needs to take a chill pill
