Upgrading the battery cables on the 08 Ultra.What lengths are the cables? What are the best "bang for the buck" cables available?

Heres a tip. Pull the cables, go to a local battery shop and have them make a pair of 2 ga. cables to match stock length. You'll spend about 20 bucks and end up with cables as good or better than a 70 dollar set.

I seem to have missed something; what is the shortcoming of the OEM cables?
