Cable Upgrade
I'm planning to upgrade the clutch and front brake cables on my '08 Road King.
I've been looking at Harley Diamondback and Magnum Sterling Chromite II cables. Any opinions on these or any other good stainless cables?
Thanks...

I fitted a Diamondback to my 1990 Glide, to replace the original one. Very smooth action and so much better than the old one that I took out the Clutchlite I had installed. I was not after what it looks like, but a good choice for improved and lighter clutch action.

I know these are good cables, but you should also look at the platinum series Barnett cables. I bought mine thru Johnny Vaughns

Customer service was also top notch. Everytime I called, I got to talk to a live person. I had to talk to them more than normal since my garage was broken into on the same day the first set of cables was delivered. Figures. Rat bastards stole my cables along with most of my tools.
The only thing you need to know - The Magnums do not match the stock connectors for the lower brake line. I was not planning on replacing the lower brake lines at the time, but had to. Glad I did - it looks sweet.

I replaced my handlebars this year and went with the +6 Magnums. These are awesome, and you have a choice of Chrome or other colors. The quality is outstanding. I would buy these again without hesitation.

+1 on these. I upgrade when I went to taller bars, there is a big difference for the better going from stock to these cables.
