Default HD Diamondback Chrome Cables

Any pros/cons on these cables? Longevity? I'm looking for some nice looking cables that won't start to yellow on me in years to come. They will go on a RKC 2011, with 16" gangster apes.

Good to hear! thanks drbillk. I'm assuming you didn't have to do any special maintenance for them? just wash/shine normally?

I have them on my FLHT. Clutch has been on for a year and the brake lines were put on this past summer. No problems to note! Look great.
