Default Braided Cables
Looking to upgrade the look of my FLHTK with all stainless braided cables. I used the Forum search function and didn't come up with much. I'm looking for anyone who's upgraded, to get some advice on the best place to get quality cables that look good, fit right, and last. Any other info that's helpful would be appreciated as well.

I went to the Magnum Shielding website (magnumshielding.com) and got the part numbers for the brake lines and clutch cable I wanted. I then went on Amazon.com and purchased them. I'm sure I could have called EasternPerformance or a variety of other vendors, but from my searching, Amazon had a great price for everything all at one time and place. When you do the brake lines, invest in the stainless steel speed bleeders and the Harley chrome banjo bolt kit to finish it all off.

Yep, me too. Had all my lines replaced with braided from the dealer before I even took it home. Never had a problem.

Magnum lines. I got mine and im pretty impressed with them. They look real nice. Got them through local dealer that had an open house and got 20% off them so cant complain.

Magnum sterling chromite; they have matching plug wires that make a huge difference too.
