I just ordered $200+ worth of Magnum Black Pearl cables/line (+4 clutch, +2 brake). I don't have any direct experience with them yet but have heard good things about them here.
I'm sure there are less expensive options but the Magnum web site made it pretty easy to figure out what I needed to order. They even have a Drag Specialties part number cross reference.
I figured if I was gonna drop the coinage I did on the PYO MBB's then I shouldn't complain about going the extra mile on the extended cables even though most of their lengths are hidden

I wish I would have never put the braided lines on my Road King. I have the HD Diamondbacks. I have about 15K miles on them. The clutch cable is worn down to the inner sleeve, the brake cables are cracking now at the fittings. the throttle cables seem to be ok, but never again. I'm seriously thinking of putting my stock cables back on.
The HD Diamondbacks have a clear vinyl sleeve covering them. Look great when new but the vinyl cover quickly wears and peels off leaving a bare braided line that wears on whatever it happens to rub during turns ect.

I have Diamondback lines on my bike for the front brakes and clutch cable. With 14,000 miles, they still look almost new.
