RE: Black braided cables
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?

RE: Black braided cables
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.

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?

RE: Black braided cables
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
