Default Clutch Cable Question

Installing reduced reach handlebars so...where are you guys buying your +4 black clutch cables for your FLHX's? Dealer offered their "DiamondBlack" but wasn't interested.

Barnett makes one, so does Magnum (who supplies Harley with the Diamondback line). The hardware on the Magnum cables is much nicer than the Barnett version, but the protective sheathing on the Magnum cable is fragile so you have to be careful with routing. I replaced mine once already, but after rerouting and applying a clamp to the handlebars it's fine. If there is a stock version that will fit, just buy that.

Hey karbar99...sorry to have to post this here, but I'm the one who was looking for the chrome right turn signal cap. E-mail me or send me a PM if you have one available. Thanks.

I have a Diamondback and it is wonderful! Reduced lever effort and smooth operation.
