Default Chubby's 518 Cable Change

I purchased 4" longer black Barnett idle & throttle cables from the local dealership for a better fit with my new Chubby's 518 handlebars; in order for everything to fit, I also had to buy a Drag brake line, universal splitter & brake cables. When everything came in the brake lines were all stainless steel, so I decided to order SS idle & throttle cables to match,which I should've done in the 1st place. There's more to changing a set of cables than many of us know and now I have an extra set of new Barnett's black throttle & idle cables laying around the house; anyway, if anyone is interested in them drop me a line.
