Stainless vs Diamondback?
Since I'm in the middle of installing chrome switch housings & switches, I decided to install a chrome master & clutch lever bracket. So, since it's all apart anyways, I may as well remove my inner & get it painted to match. Since I'm installing a chrome master & have to drain the old one, I might as well install a braided brake line while I'm at it.
What the hell, might as well spend all my money.
Looking on the HD website, other than $10, what is the difference between the braided lines, and the diamondback braided lines?

Supposedly, the DB's stay brighter longer. Stainless has a tendency to yellow with age. I sell stainless steel for a living and know for a fact that if you don't keep the braided stainless well cleaned, it will rust.

if you like the diamond back... I suggest Magnum sterling II chromite instead, seems to be better quality than the diamond back and a bit cheaper too than HD brand. If you also want like chrome looking plug wires I suggest kool lines wires and not the magnum versions..
stainless is a bit dull vs. the chromite, up too you, if you like em get em, I had stainless on my rear brake line(out of sight) and chromite on my bars..

you can look up what lengths you'd get in the db version and get them in the MSIIC version.

+1 on the Chromite II's. I just put clutch and throttle/idle cables on mine, when I did the bar swap to Khromewerks sweepers. They look great. Probably do the front brake lines for Christmas.
